Yusui Chang'an

Gu Hongzhang and others were stunned for a moment, then they understood the meaning of Lin Jinyan's words.

Gu Ruizhou: "Yan'er, you mean... His Majesty is using you as bait to test several of His Highnesses?"

Bai Yiran grabbed Lin Jinyan's hand tremblingly:

"What a...bastard!"

Gu Hongzhang and Gu Qingyun also had dark faces and clenched their teeth.

They are not stupid people, they are just too upright and loyal to think otherwise.

Now that I want to understand this, I suddenly feel sad and depressed.

The Gu family, who had been loyal to the army for several generations and guarded the frontiers and was loyal to the emperor from birth to death, actually plotted against their junior who only cared about Tianchu...

If the emperor's various precautions and temptations against them in the past only made them cautious and aggrieved, this incident made them feel chilling:

Yan'er is just a weak woman. She is so kind and poses no threat to the royal family! How could you harm her like this!

Gu Qingyun asked unwillingly:

"Yan'er, are you sure the person following you is from the palace?"

Lin Jinyan nodded indifferently:

"That man was very careful with me. Wei Zhong couldn't even notice the trace of that man for many times. When I was in the mansion, the man only stared at me from a distance outside the gate and didn't get close. He only followed me when I left the mansion."

"When the accident happened yesterday, the man did not come to help. He followed him back to the palace and then left. I asked Wei Zhong to follow him from a distance, and I saw with my own eyes that man entered the palace from the east side gate with a badge on his waist."

Hearing this, everyone remained silent, letting their anger, grievance, depression, loneliness, worthlessness, and grief all intertwined...

The depression in Gu Hongzhang's heart made him choke, and he took out a few big breaths, and it took him a long time to say:

"I thought that all emperors would be like the late emperor and just be loyal. Now I know that the late emperor is unique. Don't reveal a word about this matter to the outside world, and don't tell Chen'er when he comes back later."

In the courtyard.

Xiaotao's eyes were red, and the hand holding the hot tea was still shaking uncontrollably. If she hadn't been sharp-eyed, she would have been sold into a brothel when she saw Lin Li coming to find her.

Lin Li: "Don't blame the young master. It was my cousin who was afraid that the matter would spread, so she had to sell you. If it weren't for looking for you, I would still be locked up in the house now."

Xiaotao thought of all the experiences she had experienced in the past few months and couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart:

They are just pretending, why should I suffer!

After Lin Jinyun was busy with government affairs, he received the news that Lin Li had found Xiao Tao and hurried to the house.

Knowing that Zhou Yuexue was pregnant and about to marry King Jin, Lin Jinyun thought it was a fantasy and felt that Zhou Yuexue was being forced by King Jin.

But my grandfather said that Zhou Yuexue was voluntary. How could this be possible? Her innocence was clearly given to herself, and the month of pregnancy matched...

It was not that Lin Jinyun had never thought about it, he went to Zhou Yuexue to ask questions face to face, but he could not see anyone at all, and now that Zhou Yuexue and Prince Jin were engaged, he did not dare to cause too much trouble.

When he was worried, Lin Li's unintentional words reminded Lin Jinyun, so Xiao Tao became a witness who could verify the matter.

Seeing Xiao Tao covered with scars, Lin Jinyun's eyes flashed with guilt. After a few words of concern, he asked anxiously:

"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I invited my cousin to come here. That... afterwards... you cleaned up the house. Have you ever seen Luo Hong on the bedding?"

Xiao Tao had long heard that Zhou Yuexue was going to marry into Prince Jin's palace, and secretly cursed Zhou Yuexue in her heart for being shameless and should be imprisoned in a pig cage.

When asked by Lin Jinyun at this moment, let alone saying that she had not seen it, even if she had seen it, she would still say that she had not seen it.

"Never seen it before."

Lin Jinyun said anxiously: "Seriously? But you missed it? Think about it again." (End of Chapter)
