Prime Minister Chen's words to defend the emperor's eldest grandson were echoed by the officials.
"Indeed, if you really want to say that the emperor's eldest grandson has spread rumors, then you have to show evidence."
"This week, Zhou Wenya herself said that the rumors in the capital were all spread by her. This also shows that the rumors in the palace of the emperor's eldest grandson were also spread by her, right? "
"Indeed!" Many people echoed.
However, Lin Yuelan said amusingly, "My lords, I don't seem to have named them from the beginning to the end. This rumor of the emperor's eldest grandson was spread by the emperor's eldest grandson, right? What are you doing in such a hurry to defend the emperor's eldest grandson?"
Everyone, "..."
Well, come to think of it, that seems to be the case.
Whether it was Lin Yuelan or Zhou Wenya, they didn't explicitly say that the emperor's eldest grandson's house rumors were spread by the emperor's eldest grandson himself.
The rumors of the emperor's grandson's mansion spread, it does not mean that the emperor sent people to spread it out, it is very likely that Zhou Wenya, Li Wenya, etc. are waiting for someone.
But this emperor's eldest grandson is good. I don't know if it is because of his guilty conscience and panic, or there are other reasons. He has no silver 300 taels here, so he doesn't make a fool of himself.
This time, the eyes of those present couldn't help but look at the eldest grandson of the emperor.
The eldest grandson screamed in his heart, but after thinking about what he said, he also did not admit it publicly - he spread the rumor.
After Yuwen Xuhong figured this out, he was a little fortunate in his heart, and he defended, "Yes, you didn't name names, but you mean it secretly, don't you say that I spread this rumor? In this case, Can't I justify myself?"
After everyone listened and thought about it, it was indeed the case.
Therefore, even if this matter was really done by the eldest grandson of the emperor, but he does not admit it himself, and there is no conclusive evidence, who can do it?
Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong's actions, sighed in her heart, and looked at Emperor Yuwen Longyan, only to see that he frowned tightly and frowned slightly.
She said, "Although there is no evidence, this rumor involves the innocence of me and the general, and I have to investigate it!"
If they were replaced by an emperor who was very suspicious and suspicious, just based on these rumors, they would likely be imprisoned on the charge of "unwarranted" and the crime of intentional treason. At that time, in order to protect herself, she She may have to turn her face with the emperor. At that time, some of her secrets will have to be exposed.
However, fortunately, the old emperor believed in them from beginning to end, otherwise, after he was suspicious, he really had to make unpredictable consequences, so don't blame her for being cruel.
"Then girl, how do you want to hold it accountable?" Yuwen Longyan asked sharply, "Is there any evidence that this rumor was really spread by the eldest grandson of the emperor?"
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "At present, I have not yet obtained any definite evidence, so I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"I brought evidence!" At this moment, a female voice came in.
Everyone looked over at a glance, but what they saw was the Crown Princess.
"Presumptuous!" Yuwen Longyan's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Prince Concubine, you are not allowed to step into the Golden Palace without being summoned. Don't you know this rule?"
The Crown Princess came in, knelt down immediately, and admitted her mistake, "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law knows I'm wrong!"
Yuwen Longyan said sternly, "Those who step into the Golden Palace without being summoned must first be punished with thirty boards. Crown Princess, you are so courageous. Come on, execute me!"
"Father, be gracious!" When His Royal Highness saw the appearance of the crown prince, his heart was suddenly startled. Hearing that the emperor was about to punish the prince, he immediately knelt down in a panic and shouted loudly, "Father is gracious. The crown prince may be I have something important to report to you, so I came to the Golden Palace without authorization!"
Yuwen Longyan said with a sullen face, "Even so, the Crown Princess should let someone report it first, wait for the summons, and then come back to the Golden Palace!"
When the Crown Princess heard that she was going to hit her thirty big boards, her face turned pale and she kowtowed, "Father, please spare your life. My daughter-in-law has to break into the Golden Palace directly because she has received important news and the time is tight!"
"Oh, then I want to hear it. What important news did you have that made you step into the Golden Palace without being summoned?" Yuwen Longyan asked indifferently.
The princess said, "Back to the father, before, the daughter-in-law planned to go back to her mother's house, but when she passed a restaurant, she heard a few people talking, and after hearing what they were talking about, the daughter-in-law dared to return to the palace in a hurry. "
Speaking of this, the Crown Princess, who lowered her head, raised her head slightly and looked at Yuwen Xuhong with some hesitation on her face.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the princess' expression.
Could it be that there is another emperor's grandson in the middle?
Yuwen Longyan suddenly asked suspiciously, "What the **** is going on here? Say it."
At this moment, Yuwen Xuhong's expression was flustered, and he felt even more uneasy in his heart.
He didn't know how it all became like this.
Obviously, all of this was fine.
The princess looked embarrassed and hesitated.
"Forgive your innocence, let's talk!" Yuwen Longyan said solemnly.
The crown princess gritted her teeth and said, "They said that the emperor's eldest grandson is betraying the enemy and betraying the country!"
"What?!" At this moment, everyone looked extremely shocked.
"No, it's impossible!" Yuwen Xuhong said in a panic, "Princess, don't spit your blood!"
Yuwen Longyan asked sternly, "Prince Concubine, you must speak with evidence!"
He didn't believe at all that the eldest grandson, whom he loved so much, would actually cooperate with the enemy and betray the country.
The crown princess said eagerly, "Your Majesty, those few people said that the reason why the second prince of Wuyun Kingdom let Princess Linglong marry the eldest grandson's mansion two years ago was to confuse everyone's attention and believe that she is the real spy of my dynasty. But in fact, the real purpose of Princess Linglong's marriage to the eldest grandson's mansion is to cover up the cooperation between the eldest grandson and Wu Yunguo!"
Speaking of this, the crown prince kowtowed to the emperor and said loudly, "Father, what the daughter-in-law said is true, please check it out!"
What? !
Hearing the Crown Princess's words, everyone was in disbelief, incredible, and even more shocked. Yuwen Longyan said very solemnly, "Prince Concubine, I said that I want evidence, not your empty words and let you make it up."
The Crown Princess said calmly on the surface, "Father, the daughter-in-law brought witnesses and waited outside!"
Yuwen Longyan had a gloomy and serious face, and after a while, he shouted solemnly, "Come in!"
Yuwen Longyan gave an order, and after a while, someone came in with three men in black.
It's just that these three people are taller and have larger skeletons. They don't look like people from Long Yanguo. They have sharp eyes and thick calluses on the palms of their hands. They look like people who have been specially trained.
They looked arrogant, with contempt and contempt in their eyes, and they knelt down when they saw the emperor standing like this.
When the commander of the Guards saw one of them, he kicked down hard and shouted loudly, "Kneel down!"
The person who was kicked, stood up again after being kicked down, looked at Yuwen Longyan's eyes, shouted with anger, "I won't kneel on this dog emperor, if I want to kill or cut, listen to respect. Just!" After speaking, he twisted his head and raised his head high, as if he was really disdainful towards the emperor.
"Presumptuous!" The commander of the Guards shouted sharply, and immediately kicked the man in black at the knee and wrist. The man immediately knelt on the ground, and then the guards on the left and right restrained him immediately and let him He knelt down and couldn't get up.
The other two reacted the same way, and the commander still kicked them unceremoniously, causing them to kneel suddenly.
Yuwen Longyan looked at the three kneeling below, frowned slightly, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"
The three of them raised their heads in unison, as if they didn't bother to answer the emperor's words at all, but after an aloof "hum", they never responded to Yuwen Longyan again.
"Presumptuous!" Seeing the attitude of the three people, His Royal Highness shouted angrily, "You troublemakers, what kind of attitude is this? You are so arrogant if you don't kneel or say anything when you see His Majesty? You must know that you are contempt of the Holy One, and you can be charged with contempt for imperial power!"
"If you want to kill or slash, you can listen and respect!" The three said in unison.
Everyone, "..."
"Who the **** are you?" Yuwen Longyan asked sharply again.
"Humph!"
The three snorted in unison.
Yuwen Longyan looked at the Crown Princess with doubtful eyes, and asked sharply, "Prince Princess, who are they?"
The Crown Princess shook her head and said, "Back to the father, the daughter-in-law doesn't know.
When my daughter-in-law was going back to her parents' house, she passed a restaurant and was a little hungry, so she had to go to that restaurant to fill her stomach. She didn't expect it, and when she passed a box, she heard them talking about royal affairs. and,"
Having said this, the Crown Princess paused for a while, with a hesitant expression on her face, not knowing how to continue.
"Go on!" Yuwen Longyan ordered, "I forgive you!"
"Thank you, Royal Father!" The Crown Princess continued, "Not only did they talk about royal affairs in the box, but they also talked about the recent rumors about Princess Guguo in the capital! They said that their master was really wise, and he was able to talk to the eldest grandson of the emperor. He cooperated with him, and let people spread the rumors about Princess Guguo from the palace of the eldest grandson, and also said that as long as the eldest grandson took down General Jiang this time, they would support the eldest grandson, sit down... sit down "..." Having said that, the Crown Princess did not dare to speak any further.
But the meaning here, everyone understands.
"My daughter-in-law suddenly felt that the matter was very important, so I asked the guards around me to take them down!" said the princess again.
The information revealed in the words of the Crown Princess is too serious.
Everyone looked at each other, looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.
After hearing this, Lin Yuelan frowned slightly, and then, without waiting for everyone to answer, she said, "Although I don't know where these rumors originated or how they caused so many things. Let’s announce the marriage in advance.”
