Xie Sheng was shocked: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! This couldn't be something that happened in the Crown Prince's Palace!"
As he spoke, he tried to steal those things.
Lin Ji immediately intervened and stopped Xie Sheng.
Xie Sheng looked at Lin Ji and said, "Lord Lin, you know these things couldn't possibly belong to the Crown Prince!"
Xie Sheng felt that Lin Ji was someone he had recommended to his father, so Lin Ji should be on his side.
Lin Ji, his face cold, said, "Regardless, these things were all found in the Eastern Palace. I will report the truth to His Majesty, and I believe His Majesty will make his own decision. Until then, I request that neither the Crown Prince nor anyone else in the Eastern Palace leave the Eastern Palace!"
Lin Ji paused for a moment, then said to the people around him, "Surround the Eastern Palace!"
Xie Sheng's face turned pale upon hearing this.
He could do nothing but watch helplessly as these people surrounded the Eastern Palace.
Lin Ji coldly addressed Xie Sheng, saying, "Please, Your Highness, return to the Eastern Palace!"
Xie Sheng was pushed and shoved into the encirclement that sealed off the East Palace. He still didn't understand what was going on.
He was the one who found Lin Ji first, so Lin Ji should have been his person. Why did it turn out like this? This is very wrong!
Xie Sheng looked at Lin Ji and asked, "Lord Lin, why is this happening? Has someone threatened you?"
As Xie Sheng spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Yun Chuwei.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji replied, "Your Highness, you are overthinking this. I am fortunate to have His Majesty's trust, and naturally I will serve His Majesty wholeheartedly! I am loyal only to His Majesty!"
This statement is tantamount to telling Xie Sheng that believing Lin Ji to be his person is merely wishful thinking on his part.
Xie Sheng shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, how could this be? Absolutely impossible!"
Lin Ji stopped talking and led another team to continue searching other parts of the palace.
Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan were about to leave when Xie Sheng called them back.
"Yun Chuwei, did you do this? What did you say to Lord Lin?" Xie Sheng glared at Yun Chuwei and asked.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow, turned around, and walked closer to Xie Sheng.
She lowered her voice and said to Xie Sheng with a half-smile, "Your Highness, why do you think Lord Lin enjoys His Majesty's deep trust?"
Xie Sheng frowned slightly: "Naturally, it's because I was the one who recommended you!"
Yun Chuwei chuckled, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
She lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear, and said, word by word, "What about in the previous life? Did you recommend him too?"
Xie Sheng was shocked to hear this. He looked at Yun Chuwei and said incredulously, "You...you also..."
If Yun Chuwei mentioned her previous life, it means that Yun Chuwei has also been reborn.
But how could that be? How could she have been reborn?
Xie Sheng considered it for a moment, and then felt that if Yun Chuwei had also lived a second life, then many things would become clear.
No wonder she was unwilling to forgive him no matter what.
No wonder...
Yun Chu smiled slightly and said casually, "What? Aren't we talking about Lord Lin right now?"
Xie Sheng suppressed his shock, looked at Yun Chuwei, and said in a deep voice, "The reason why Father trusts Lord Lin Ji so much is not only because of my recommendation, but also because of his own abilities!"
Yun Chuwei sneered: "What ability could make His Majesty hand over the Imperial Guards, the City Defense Forces, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to him within a few days? Is His Majesty such a foolish person?"
Xie Sheng's face paled slightly; he had considered this matter before.
However, because of his experience in his previous life, he felt that this was a natural thing to do and something that was expected.
Now that Yun Chuwei brought it up, he has reconsidered the matter.
"Lin Ji, he was Father's man from the very beginning?" Xie Sheng said, then shook his head incredulously, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Yun Chuwei didn't care whether he believed her or not, and said directly, "Why don't you guess again? In the previous life, who ordered the extermination of the entire Xuan Prince's family? By the way, if the extermination of the entire family was the Xuan Prince's family in the previous life, then who will be the next victim in this life?"
Yun Chuwei wanted Xie Sheng to do something irreversible in his panic.
Therefore, she doesn't mind saying a little more.
Upon hearing Yun Chuwei's words, Xie Sheng's face turned deathly pale.
Yun Chuwei said nothing more, turned around, and left with Xie Xuan in her hand.
Before leaving, Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Sheng with a complicated look in her eyes.
He saw it very clearly today: Xie Sheng's current situation was too similar to his own in his previous life.
Looking at Xie Sheng is like seeing myself in my previous life.
When Xie Sheng met Xie Xuan's eyes, he suddenly understood where that familiar feeling came from.
"Xie Xuan! You are Xie Xuan! Right?"
Xie Sheng tried to rush out, but was stopped.
"Your Highness, please return to the Eastern Palace! According to Lord Lin's instructions, the Crown Prince cannot leave the Eastern Palace!"
"Get out of here! Get out of here!" Xie Sheng raised his voice and said.
However, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were not afraid of Xie Sheng and stood in front of him, blocking his way.
-
On that day, Lin Ji also sealed off the Jiaofang Palace.
The next day, Lin Ji came to see Yun Chuwei again.
"As His Majesty intends, poison will be delivered to the Jiaofang Palace and the Eastern Palace today, and the bodies will be collected in three days. His Majesty said he would inform you before delivering the poison. Did His Majesty assign you any other tasks?" Lin Ji asked.
Yun Chuwei nodded: "His Majesty asked me to protect the Crown Princess and the child in her womb! I'll go with you; I need to take the Crown Princess with me."
