"I don't dare to deceive the emperor." Lin Xin'er looked straight ahead and replied calmly, "The father-in-law came to deliver food to me, but I didn't expect that he said that he was the person bribed by my father to take my place in jail.
, so that I could go to the place arranged outside the prison to heal my wounds. I was so happy at the time that I didn’t think much about it, so I took off the hairpin and gave it to him according to his instructions. He opened the lock in a few seconds and entered.
After that, I exchanged clothes with my concubine. By the way, my concubine’s palace maid’s dress was given to me by the second prince when he came to visit me. I am really happy for the emperor. The second prince and the third prince are all very kind-hearted.
It's just a small effort, but I am still very grateful."
She specially praised the second prince and the third prince, leaving out the prince. In the eyes of others, Lin Xiner was still thinking about being severely rejected by Ximenche. This made it even more unexpected that Ximenche was alone with her in the criminal room.
Zhu Xiang's skills can be used to do tricks to help her avoid the punishment of the stick.
"You said that Eunuch Tao was ordered by Master Lin to go to jail for you, so how could he become your assassin?" Chen Rufeng continued to ask.
"Chen Shangshu, I just said that according to my father's instructions, it was just his one-sided statement. If he was really the person my father bribed, how could he assassinate me?" Lin Xiner replied calmly, "I think about it later.
, he just used an excuse to get close to me to commit murder, and deliberately made up lies. He can only blame me for having incorrect ideas and being deceived. Thinking about it, my father, as the current Grand Master, would not do such a thing. Fortunately, the guard discovered it in time, and he was able to kill me.
The assassin was not allowed to succeed, otherwise even if I was stabbed to death, it would not be unjust."
Lin Xiner answered in a measured manner. She admitted her fault, pointed out Eunuch Tao's whereabouts, and reminded everyone that if she could kill someone in the criminal cell, the origin of the murderer would not be simple, and it would not be her father Lin.
Bo, that is, someone who can compete with Lin Bo.
Obviously, the person who went to the prison first to deliver food and assassinated Eunuch Tao went for her. But if we follow Eunuch Tao's line to investigate, it is very likely that we will find Ximen Jingyu. Even if Ximen Jingyu hates
She wouldn't kill her at this time.
So, who would take the risk and send someone to sneak into the prison cell to kill her?
He must have hated her so much that he wanted to kill her so urgently. Lin Xiner glanced sideways at Chen Rufeng. At this time, he was the only one who wished she would die immediately.
However, Chen Rufeng was able to achieve the position of minister, stand tall in the court, and survive two dynasties. He was not an ordinary person, so he would definitely not do such a childish thing.
Who is it?
Lin Xiner had already gone through all the people in the court in her mind, but she had no clue.
But it doesn't matter, I can just blame this matter on Chen Rufeng. Anyway, I have settled with him, and this trouble must be eradicated. As for the real culprit, I will leave it to the future to investigate.
Having made up her mind, Lin Xiner pretended to be thinking, as if she was recalling the situation when she was assassinated. She seemed to have remembered something, and said in surprise, "I remembered it. When Eunuch Tao drew his sword to assassinate me, he said that he would save the life of his wife."
revenge!"
"Don't talk nonsense and frame me!" Chen Rufeng's face immediately changed and he shouted angrily.
"Master Chen, do you think the wife Eunuch Tao is referring to is Shui Qing?" Lin Xiner turned to look at Chen Rufeng and asked seriously.
"You...which other lady have you offended?" Chen Rufeng was slightly startled.
"Isn't that what I'm thinking?" Lin Xiner glanced at Chen Rufeng lightly.
"You said he mentioned Madam?" Ximen Jinglie glared at Lin Xiner.
"Yes." Lin Xin'er nodded, "I really remembered that Eunuch Tao said so. According to Master Chen -"
Lin Xiner turned to Chen Rufeng again, blinked her eyes and said, "I really only offended Mrs. Shui Qing. Mrs. Shui Qing died because of me. I was scolded by the rod and managed to escape with my life. There is no guarantee that someone will be dissatisfied and continue to do it for her."
revenge."
"A frame-up, it's clearly a frame-up. Eunuch Tao died without any evidence, so you can just talk nonsense!" Chen Rufeng's beard trembled.
"I also want to find out the truth about the victim, and I beg the emperor to send someone to investigate the case strictly!" Lin Xin'er said and kowtowed.
"He secretly broke into the criminal room to commit murder. This case is not trivial. I will never tolerate it." Ximen Jinglie said without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, why don't you go to the scene of the murder with me now and inspect it yourself?"
Someone was tampering under his nose, which was never allowed. Even if Lin Xiner didn't plead for a strict investigation, he wouldn't let it go.
"Okay, Wei Chen will follow the emperor to the criminal cell. I hope the emperor will seek justice for Wei Chen!" Chen Rufeng said happily.
"Lord Chen, there is no need for the Emperor to rush back and forth. Aren't you the evidence that links the assassin to you?" Lin Xiner glanced sideways at Chen Rufeng.
From the initial speculation to the solid evidence of the export, it only took a moment. Not only Chen Rufeng was unable to react for a while, but even Ximen Jinglie looked at Chen Rufeng in surprise. He didn't know what the evidence Lin Xiner was talking about?
"Don't be so snarky!" Chen Rufeng glared at Lin Xiner angrily, "Tell me clearly, where is the evidence related to the assassin on my body?"
Although Chen Rufeng had gone through ups and downs for a long time and finally stood tall in the court, this was the first time he was framed by a yellow-haired girl. Although he wanted to let Lin Xiner die to pay for his granddaughter's life, but he believed that
He never sent a killer to assassinate Lin Xiner, so he had a clear conscience and was filled with anger.
"Your Majesty, can I, my concubine, get up and go to Mr. Chen to take a closer look?" Lin Xiner implored Ximen Jinglie.
"Correct." Ximen Jinglie said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xiner stood up and slowly moved to Chen Rufeng.
Chen Rufeng stood upright proudly, no matter how Lin Xiner looked around, he didn't believe there was anything suspicious about him and was being bluffed by this yellow-haired girl.
"Mr. Chen, you smell like jasmine." Lin Xiner circled around Chen Rufeng and then stood in front of him and said, "It just so happens that I am wearing Eunuch Tao's clothes and I also smell like this."
"So what?" Chen Rufeng disagreed. It was the season when flowers were in bloom. What's weird about walking through the flowers and being smelled by them?
But Ximen Jinglie's eyes flashed following Lin Xiner's words. It would not be surprising if it smelled of other flowers, but the scent of jasmine was rare. Jasmine comes from the Yuehua Kingdom, and there are not many in the entire capital.
If you want to leave the scent of flowers on your body, you must stay in the flowers for a long time. One or two pots planted at home will not have such an effect, but the jasmine bushes in the imperial garden of the palace can do it. As far as he knows,
There is only this jasmine bush in the imperial garden in the capital, which was obtained from the tribute paid by the Chinese state in the past few years.
