It is said that Her Royal Highness is cold, indifferent and taciturn, which makes people look beyond her. She is also as deep as the sea, which makes people unable to see the bottom.
However, under this simple and confusing appearance, I am afraid only she knows what kind of heart she has.
Early the next morning, the princess Xiao Tiange, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly appeared in the court hall and admitted without hesitation the mistakes she had made while building the river embankment.
While the officials were in an uproar, Bai Muji, who had always defended Xiao Tiange's position as the queen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she didn't know how many more days she could hold on. After all, the other party was a dignified Lan Yu.
The emperor and queen of a country, in the final analysis, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a minister.
A minister naturally does not dare to confront his master too much. If he is not careful, he will be killed.
Now that Xiao Tiange suddenly appeared at this time, it could be said that he came at the right time. Of course, while Bai Muji breathed a sigh of relief, he still had to worry about her.
Not seen for a few days, Xiao Tiange, in addition to looking slightly haggard than before, seems to be a little rounder, especially around the waist.
What is different from the past is that the expression of Xiao Tiange has always been cold and arrogant. However, the expression and expression of Xiao Tiange who came back this time are completely different from the two people.
Just like now, Xiao Tiange is standing in the main hall, wearing a light yellow court dress, looking particularly energetic. She has not dressed up too much, just casually tied up in a high bun.
Simple yet powerful, as she stood there, the officials below were immediately impressed by her natural domineering power. What was rare was that at this moment, she changed from her previous indifference and actually became beaming and smiling.
"The above are the crimes I have committed in recent days. I know that the prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are the same, and I never thought that I would get away with these crimes. It is just because I almost died in the past few days, but fortunately
The timely treatment meant that my life should not have been cut off, so I gradually got better. Of course, the fact that I am able to stand here safely today and discuss matters with the ministers is inseparable from the contribution of my father and queen!"
After saying that, she smiled and bowed to Lin Di with her fists clasped. To be honest, even Lin Di, an old fox, couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xiao Tiange was selling in the gourd today.
He changed and looked at her with a calm expression.
Bai Muji hurriedly took a step forward when he heard the words: "The blood flowing through your Highness is the royal blood of our Lanyu Kingdom. With the blessing of the gods, you will surely be blessed. Your Highness can come back safely, which is a blessing to all our ministers, and even more so."
Lan Yu is the lucky people of the whole country!"
When Bai Muji said this, the people who followed her also agreed one by one. However, the people headed by Lin Xiangzhi stood quietly in the main hall, waiting for the top leader to speak, and then they all agreed together.
G.
Lin Xiangzhi walked slowly. He hadn't seen her for several days. The little old lady seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and her waistline had grown a lot. This showed how much she ate and drank when she was at his house.
"His Royal Highness has confessed that the river bank collapsed, causing flooding and causing huge disasters to the people along the coast. As the so-called state has national laws and families have family rules, even if His Highness is a golden branch and a noble leaf, and a future emperor, he cannot tolerate this. Therefore, veteran minister
I sincerely ask the Emperor and Empress to handle this matter impartially and provide justice to the affected people!"
After saying that, Lin Xiangzhi shook her fat body and slowly knelt down. Seeing this, the ministers following her naturally agreed and knelt down on the ground. The scene was a spectacular scene.
"I sincerely ask the emperor and empress to make a decision and bring justice to the people!"
In the current scene, it can be believed that Lin Di had to take into account his family relationship with Xiao Tiange on the one hand, and on the other hand he wanted to seek justice for the people of the world, which put him in a dilemma for a moment.
Should I choose to be a loving father who loves my daughter, or should I choose to be an empress who kills relatives and upholds justice for the world?
In fact, it can be said that I have guessed the answer a long time ago, but I did not expect that Lin Di would be such a patient person, and his acting skills are not bad.
He obviously hated her so much in his heart that he wanted to tear her into pieces, but on the surface he still pretended to be close to her.
Xiao Tiange looked at Lin Di, who was at the top with a complicated expression and seemed a little embarrassed, with a faint smile on his lips.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, she lifted up the hem of her clothes and knelt on the hard marble floor along with Lin Xiangzhi and other ministers.
"I sincerely request my father to issue an edict that I should bear corresponding responsibilities and be punished for causing the collapse of the river embankment!"
Lin Di, including Lin Xiangzhi, did not expect that Xiao Tiange would take the initiative to seek punishment. Today, she suddenly appeared on her own initiative, which had already puzzled everyone. At this time, she once again broke the rules and naturally made the officials touch her for a while.
Unclear situation.
After the ministers and Xiao Tiange said this in person, Lin Di, who had been sitting silently behind the bead curtain, finally spoke quietly:
"In view of the wide implications of this matter, which is related to the future destiny of our country, Lan Yu. In addition, this palace is only temporarily acting on behalf of the emperor. All decisions should be made after the emperor's dragon body recovers. However, the country has national laws and the family has family rules. Although Her Highness the Queen is
She is a beautiful woman, but she can't tolerate her, so she will be thrown into prison first, and she will be punished later!"
Lin Di's words were sincere and he seemed to be very protective of Xiao Tiange. His amiable side was clearly revealed in front of all the civil and military officials.
However, Xiao Tiange has been pampered since she was a child. She lives in the palace, has three meals a day, and is provided with the best food and shelter. Can she come back safely after living in this prison?
Moreover, the prison was full of Lin Di's informants and subordinates. If they casually caused any harm to her, no one would come to save her even if she screamed.
Lin Di used this move with a kind face and an evil heart, sweet words but a sword. It can be said that he used this move extremely skillfully.
After imprisoning her for three to five days, he would find an excuse to abolish her and directly make his daughter the crown prince. This was probably Lin Di's last plan.
The imperial palace has always been a place where people tend to follow the crowd. Whoever gains power and is in power, those dogs and minions will hang around and do their bidding.
Today, Xiao Tiange is different from the past. She is surrounded by enemies from both sides, and the Queen Mother, who has always been her backer, is still in a deep coma, and she cannot protect herself at all.
If she wanted to deal with Lin Di, she had to rely on herself. Of course, the only thing she could do now was to delay as much time as possible and wait for the arrival of Gu Yunxiu and Xuan Yi's army.
The jailer in the Tiange Prison was also Lin Di's lackey. Maybe some dogs looked down on people and relied on their power. Seeing that Xiao Tiange was not in power at this time, they didn't understand the dignity and inferiority of the people, and they didn't understand the current affairs and deliberately caused mischief.
