The sick king dotes on the princess and the mad concubine

Chapter 153 v156 The Three-Year Banquet 2
Lin Fanghua continued to ask: "Then what happened after you went to the Plum Garden?"

Tweety's face turned pale, and she hesitated to speak.

Lin Fanghua narrowed her eyes slightly: "Say!"

Cui'er suddenly fell to her knees and cried: "The young lady went to the Plum Garden that day, she used the excuse of asking Cui'er to fetch water, but when Cui'er came, the young lady had already disappeared—"

Lin Fanghua's face changed slightly, but she was used to all kinds of scheming in the battlefield, and this change would not scare her. She said with a gloomy expression, "Oh? Why didn't you tell me that at the beginning? "

Everyone was whispering to each other. Although it was a little surprising that the witnesses on the spot changed their statements, it was not difficult to understand. Maybe some important people did something at a critical moment, such as buying the witness or something. , wait for the next good show.

The emperor said indifferently: "I don't know what this maid originally told Shuai Lin?"

Lin Fanghua turned her head and looked at the emperor, her expression calm and naked, "This maid told the old minister that after she and the little girl went to the Plum Garden, they met Wei Lan, who made vulgar and dirty words, and took the little girl away forcibly .”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Wei Guogong snorted coldly, "Oh? Since the maid told you that, why did she change her statement now?"

Lin Fanghua's gloomy eyes fell on Wei Guogong, "Lin doesn't know, but Mr. Wei Guogong has always been the most clear about such things that turn right and wrong into black and white. Why not tell me, Mr. Wei?"

Although she was kneeling on the main hall at this time, and Wei Guogong was sitting in the honored guest's seat, she looked at Wei Guogong with sharp eyes and did not back down. Even a veteran of several dynasties like Wei Guogong, she couldn't sit still because of her radiant eyes, but he was still an old minister and a relative of the emperor, and he was so overwhelmed by a woman that he couldn't breathe for a moment. Then some become angry from embarrassment.

"Marshal Lin, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything. You said earlier that my son kidnapped your daughter. The old man thought that he had been an official with you for many years and didn't care about you. Now he implies that I am playing tricks on the witnesses. , I am an important minister of the country anyway, how can I allow you to slander me again and again! If you can produce evidence today, I will just deal with it, if you can't produce evidence, I will definitely not give up like this!"

Lin Fanghua sneered, "You have said everything, and you can control the witnesses. You can say what you want her to say. Of course you can speak so eloquently."

From the high seat, there was a faint smile, only to hear the Queen Mother Lin Fangyin say softly: "Sister, you are the Grand Marshal in charge of the world's troops and horses. I am afraid that it is because of the loss of my beloved daughter and the eagerness to miss her. I believe that the emperor and everyone understand it and don't care about it. Now, since my sister has said it, the emperor naturally does not care about it. I will treat it as if I don’t know, and I will definitely try my best to find her daughter for my sister. My sister might as well go back to her seat first, and wait until she finds Dong Nuan’s whereabouts and finds out the truth. If she really has something to do with Wei Lan, the Ai family will be the first to let her go What does his sister think?"

Lin Fanghua slowly turned her eyes back, and she had to work hard to restrain the sneer on her lips from showing immediately.

The pair of sisters had never been close since they were young. Later, when the Queen Mother entered the palace, she went to join the army, and they hadn't seen each other for several years. Later, she returned to Beijing to serve as the marshal. Lin Fangyin is already the lord of the harem who favors the sixth palace, and there are almost no private meetings. Even if they meet by chance, it is polite and alienated. Today, Lin Fangyin usually calls her sister, so I don't know if it is It happened so many years ago, and the call "sister" didn't bring any warmth to Lin Fanghua, what he could feel was only ridiculousness and irony.

Maybe, knowing that at such a time, Empress Dowager Lin would say the word "sister" calmly, but the relationship between them has long been like strangers, what else can they say?

"The empress dowager's kindness is appreciated by the old minister, but what the old minister said is true and not groundless."

The corners of the queen mother's lips moved almost imperceptibly.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said, "Shuai Lin, do you only have this certification, which proves that Miss Lin's disappearance is related to the Wei family's son?"

After sneering, Lin Fanghua calmed down instead, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me, this maid did tell the old minister that Dong Nuan was kidnapped by Wei Lan in Meiyuan at the beginning, as for why she suddenly changed her tone, the old minister doesn't know, Xu Was it threatened by someone important, or bought by someone."

"Then do you know who it is?"

Lin Shuai gave Wei Guogong a cold look, then silently turned his gaze to the Empress Dowager sitting on the high platform, looked at the emperor for a moment, and said, "I don't know, old minister."

The emperor's eyes turned to the maid named Cui'er, "I ask you, did you change your confession temporarily because of someone's instructions?"

"Injustice."

The maid cried out, "This is what the maid has always said. Lin Shuai is concerned about Miss's whereabouts, and he is constantly worrying about it day and night. On that day, he discovered that Wei Shizi had also appeared in the royal temple, so he spontaneously felt that Miss's disappearance was related to Wei Shizi. related……"

Wei Guogong said: "You mean, you didn't see Wei Shizi robbing your young lady at all, did you?" Without waiting for the maidservant to answer, Wei Guogong said coldly: "Marshal Lin, I respect you as a humerus veteran. Thinking of it being so hasty, I made a conclusion.”

Lin Fanghua sneered, she ignored Wei Guogong, but her eyes slowly fell on the maid named Cui'er, "According to what you said, I'm too old to be confused. When I heard a little wind, I immediately made many associations. You even thought that Dong Nuan was robbed by Wei Lan when you went to fetch water?"

"I—" The maid was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Your Majesty, this minister looks at Lin Shuai because he is really yearning for her daughter, and he is a little impatient, which is why he made today's move."

Suddenly, there was only a very soft and very calm male voice coming from the upper position, which made Lin Fanghua's words that wanted to continue tit for tat stuck in his throat.

Lin Fanghua narrowed his eyes slightly and looked upwards. Only then did he realize that there was a handsome man in black and black robe with a black crown sitting on the place that had always been vacant. Men are different, with sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, they seem to be detached from all worldly things, and everyone is not in the center of his eyes. Even a well-informed and calm-minded person like Lin Fanghua can't help squinting his eyes when he sees it.

He is Bailiyu.

Such a voice flashed through Lin Fanghua's heart very quickly.

Lin Fanghua looked at Bailiyu seriously for a while, and then slowly turned to the trembling maid Cui'er. She raised her eyebrows and suddenly sighed.

Her attitude suddenly changed, but it made the people around her confused. Even Wei Guogong and Queen Mother Lin looked at Lin Fanghua in the center of the hall seriously, trying to see some clues from it.

Lin Fanghua closed her eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the old minister is confused today, and he was played around by this little maid, disturbing the pleasure of the Emperor and all his relatives and relatives. He really deserves death."

The emperor didn't want to talk about this topic at first, so when he heard the words, he naturally went downhill, and said lightly: "Shuai Lin has always worked hard, and I know it, and what happened today was not done on purpose by Shuai Lin, and there is absolutely no guilt Shuai Lin's reasoning."

Nalan Yu said slowly: "Shuai Lin is probably too busy with the defense of Miyagi recently, and it happened that the fourth lady was missing, so it is inevitable to get angry, but Shuai Lin can rest assured about this matter, I have sent the Ministry of Penalties to the Ministry of Justice in Gyeonggi Province at the same time. After investigation, I believe that Miss will be found soon."

"Nalan is sure to catch Nalan if he makes a move. Lin Shuai can rest assured. After everything is clear, I will definitely find out how Miss disappeared and was taken captive by someone else."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Fanghua got up and slowly retreated to her seat.

And this banquet, after Lin Fanghua made such a fuss, everyone lost interest. Originally, this kind of banquet was attended by too many people, and there was nothing new.

When the emperor saw Yin Jieyou and Concubine Mei, he left the two of them to say a few words, but it was just a polite greeting. After all, the emperor was busy with government affairs every day, so why did he have so many thoughts to pay attention to others?Yin Jieyou also understood, and after replying a few words politely, the emperor rewarded him with some things, and then he asked people to leave with Yin Jieyou, mother and daughter.

Turning his gaze, he wanted to send Bailiyu into the imperial study to have a good talk, but seeing Bailiyu disappeared at some point, he was slightly stunned, thinking that since his illness was under control, there must be time to see him in the future get him.

Nalan Yu slowly walked up to the emperor and saluted.

"Shuai Lin, I'll go and have a look."

"Ah."

The relationship between Nalan Yu and the emperor has always been cordial. If there were no outsiders, even the etiquette would be avoided. The emperor turned his eyes slightly and saw that the empress dowager who had just been sent out had already stepped out of the hall, so he asked: "Is the matter checked?" What's the matter?"

"Going back to the emperor, we have already started to investigate again, and we have some clues. I believe we can find someone in a few days."

"That's good." The emperor sighed, "Today..."

Although he doesn't care about politics, since he is the emperor, he can't avoid putting ducks on the shelves. He is still clear about everything in Beijing, including the matter of Lin Dongnuan, the fourth daughter of Lin Shuai's family. The dark tide is raging?Today is actually not the right time to talk about this matter, that's why he was extremely indifferent when Lin Fanghua first stood up, and later, he also took advantage of the situation. It is actually not so easy for the emperor to sit up. Fortunately, there is King Chen , casually said something at the critical moment.

But who told him to be Chen Wang Bailiyu, Bailiyu's words, how could it be as simple as just saying it casually?And Lin Fanghua obviously understood it very quickly, and didn't continue to hold on to it, so this matter was considered a let-down, otherwise today, I really don't know how it will end.

Yin Jieyou came out of the Chengqing Hall, and saw Lie Yan standing not far outside the Chengqing Hall, watching her come out, and stepped forward with a smile.

"How, did you drink hangover tea that day?"

Yin Jieyou glared at him, "You also said that I didn't wake up until noon the next day when I was drunk, and I woke up naturally after I fell asleep. Of course, I didn't drink the hangover tea."

"I didn't force you, you wanted to drink it yourself."

Yin Jieyou couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You know that I'm a glutton for alcohol, but you still use alcohol to provoke me, isn't that intentional, what is it?"

Lie Yan smiled slightly, "I originally thought that you, as a student of King Chen, have been trained to know how to drink, but who knew that you just waved the wine in front of your eyes, and didn't provoke you. But I couldn't bear it."

Yin Jieyou opened his mouth, a little speechless.

"By the way, I have something I want to ask you." Lie Yan said, focusing on Yin Jieyou's forehead where the bird-shaped flower tin is still attached, and said: "The imprint on your forehead—— "

"We'll talk when we're done." Yin Jieyou said suddenly, turned around and went in another direction.

Lie Yan was stunned, and looked along the route Yin Jieyou walked, only to see a tall and thin figure in black clothes and a high crown, appearing behind the corridor of the palace road, all the smiles in the eyes that were originally smiling All faded away, he watched Yin Jieyou almost trotted to Bailiyu's side, with his back turned to see, Lie Yan could almost imagine the expression on her face at this time, it must not be like facing him as it was then.

After only two glances, he turned his eyes away, turned and left the entrance of the main hall.

Yin Jieyou walked to Bailiyu's side, he had many questions in his heart.

But Bailiyu spoke first, and said, "Go outside the Donghua Gate."

"what happened?"

"Shuai Lin is there."

Yin Jieyou was startled, and quickly followed Bailiyu's pace, "When did you make the appointment?"

"I want Leng Xiao to wait at the gate of the Chengqing Hall, and send a message to Lin Shuai as soon as the banquet is over."

Yin Jieyou had to admire Bailiyu, he seemed to have known that Lin Shuai would do this, and it seemed that it was because of this that he appeared at the banquet today. I wonder if she guessed it right?
Outside the Donghua Gate, on the carriage, Lin Fanghua was sitting on it. He used to have the habit of reading the art of war, but now he couldn't read a single word.

Lin Fanghua is shrewd and sophisticated to be able to get to this position today. Everything happened today because this maid named Cui Er told Lin Dongnuan as soon as she disappeared that Dongnuan was kidnapped by Wei Lan. At that time, Lin Fanghua immediately blocked all the passages, searched around but still found no clues, so he felt that something was a little strange, so he didn't immediately launch an attack when the person was lost, but secretly investigated day and night, but the more he investigated, all the news The more blurred it became, and recently, she has received many messages that seem to be threatening.

She had narrowly escaped death many times in the battlefield, so she was naturally not afraid of anything, but how could that delicate and weak daughter endure any pain?Those people seemed to have grasped her heart very accurately. Every temptation and threat was just right, and each time was stronger than the last time. Even today, Lin Fanghua couldn't bear it anymore.
