Chapter 147 Questioning
After the Great Court Meeting, the news of the war with Northern Qi spread, causing the whole country to erupt.

Li Chengqian's sentence that offenders of our Qing Dynasty will be punished even if it is far away, has reminded countless people of the youth Qingguo who was popular all over the world back then.

As for the fact that he killed Yang Shihui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, no one cared about it. Occasionally, people talked about it, and they all praised the prince for being heroic, decisive in killing and attacking, and having the appearance of a wise king.

The once romantic and extravagant reputation seemed to be completely reversed in the blink of an eye.

After all, things like public opinion have always been difficult to determine.

Those who care about it are afraid of it like a tiger, and those who don't care about it are just bubbles in the air, which will burst with a poke.

……

In Zixiangyuan, in the boudoir of the inner hall, Lin Wan'er turned away all the maidservants, and rarely looked at her second brother Lin Gong with a cold expression on her face.

She always wanted to ask Lin Gong about the invitation.

However, Lin Gong was confined by Lin Ruofu for several days, and was not released until the Great Court Meeting and the Niulan Street incident was settled.

"Second brother, let me ask you, did you ask me to write that invitation on purpose?"

Lin Gong's complexion is also not good-looking, his younger sister has always been gentle, but now she is questioning her own brother for an outsider?

"It's over, and it's just a coincidence."

Lin Gong knew the seriousness of the matter, so naturally he would not admit it, even in front of his sister.

But Lin Wan'er looks weak, but she is actually extremely intelligent, especially because she is too familiar with Lin Gong. Just from a few simple expressions and subconscious movements, she can tell that Lin Gong is lying.

Her bright eyes instantly dimmed a lot.

Li Gaoming was the first person of the opposite sex to enter her heart in the past ten years, and it was Li Gaoming who helped her, who had been suffering from illness for a long time, get better day by day.

In fact, if Li Gaoming hadn't been here for the past few days because of the Niulan Street incident, she might have completely recovered from her illness.

But her second brother did not hesitate to use her to participate in the ambush on Niulan Street.

So, does her second elder brother, Lin Gong, really love her, or is it some kind of deliberate show of caring?

She was a little chilled, a little sad, and also a little guilty.

In her opinion, if it wasn't for her invitation, it would be impossible for Li Gaoming to step into the opponent's ambush so well.

As a patient, she knew exactly how superb Li Gaoming's medical skills were. Even so, she needed to thank guests behind closed doors and recuperate for seven days.

It is conceivable how severely traumatized he was in Niulan Street.

But what can she do?
Tell this matter to the public and sue her second brother to the imperial court?Let the world know?

"I see, second brother, I'm tired."

This means to thank the guests.

Lin Gong said with a sullen face, "What are you going to do? For a wild man, don't you even want your second brother? Don't forget, you have a marriage contract!"

Lin Wan'er trembled all over, she looked at Lin Gong, and felt that the second brother who was familiar in the past was so strange at the moment.

"He's not a wild man. He is the benefactor who saved my life and pulled me out of the quagmire. He is the person I like. The marriage contract is not my intention, and I will never recognize the marriage contract, except for him Besides, I, Lin Wan'er, will never marry anyone else in this life!"

Lin Gong was furious: "Shameless, you still remember that you are the daughter of the prime minister!"

Lin Wan'er said indifferently: "There is nothing to do with it in name."

"You!" Lin Gong was so angry that he raised his hand high and wanted to hit her.

Lin Wan'er looked at him stubbornly, without any intention of dodging.

At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, Mr. Li Gaoming asked to see you, and said he came to consult you."

As soon as the words came out, Lin Wan'er's face was full of surprise, wishing to see him immediately, but there was also a bit of cowardice in her heart that she didn't dare to face.

Lin Gong's complexion changed suddenly, and he suddenly panicked.

Of course, he didn't know the details of the Niulan Street case, and he didn't even know how many masters were involved.

But the hundreds of dead bodies made him deeply realize the power of a great master for the first time.

In particular, there is still the crown prince standing behind this person.

The prime minister's mansion has to bow its head, let alone him?
Although he felt that it was impossible for this person to know that he was involved in the Niulan Street case, he still felt guilty.

Outside the door, seeing that there was no response from inside the room, the maid said, "Miss, do you want me to reject him?"

"No!" After saying that, Lin Wan'er pushed the door open and walked out, saying, "I'll go and meet myself."

Saying that, she trotted away.

"Oh, miss, you slow down, be careful not to fall."

……

Li Chengqian entered the inner court with Lin Wan'er amidst Lin Wan'er's cheerful yet cautious performance.

He knew that Lin Wan'er must be full of guilt because of that invitation card, and he could tell from her expression that she might be anxious and restless these days, let alone rest.

Seeing her pitiful appearance of hesitating to speak, he gently patted her head, as if coaxing a child and said: "Why, who bullied you, tell me, and I will beat him up for you!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door, and saw Lin Gong who was hesitating whether to leave directly in the room.

Although Lin Gong felt a little guilty, he wanted to use Lin Wan'er's affection to get to know Li Gaoming.

A grand master with a prince standing behind him, walking sideways in this capital, is low-key.

He wondered if he could take this opportunity to re-enter Donggong's sight.

Now the crown prince's position is completely stable in the eyes of discerning people, it is very difficult for any prince in the Qing Kingdom to pose a threat to the crown prince.

So he had to think about the future of the prime minister's mansion.

In fact, he still doesn't understand why the prince suddenly alienated him. Is it just because he broke into the backyard of the East Palace two years ago?

When Li Chengqian saw Lin Gong, his expression paused, and he said calmly, "Wan'er, but he bullied you?"

Lin Gong's gaze stayed on Li Chengqian's hand that fell on Lin Wan'er's head for a moment. If it was an ordinary person, he would have already scolded him, but at this moment he turned a blind eye to it, and even laughed along with him, and said, "Brother Gao Ming, I am Wan'er's second brother, it's too late to hurt her, how could he bully her?"

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Li Chengqian lowered his hand, and naturally held Lin Wan'er's little hand.

Lin Wan'er blushed slightly, but she didn't struggle.

"What a second brother, he is relentless when he uses his sister. What is the use of such a second brother?"

Li Chengqian looked at Lin Gong with a half-smile, and Lin Gong's face instantly turned ashen, full of disbelief.

How can it be?How would he know?Could it be that Wan'er told him?
He cast suspicious eyes on Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er's slightly rosy face turned pale in the blink of an eye.

This is her good second brother, how ridiculous.
