Chapter 86 Chen Rufeng committed suicide in fear of crime
"What are the arrangements for the Young Palace Master?" Xingyao asked.
"I plan to investigate Mo Yaxuan first, but Mo Yaxuan is an extremely secret place for Ximen Jingxuan. It is difficult for me to investigate deeply without him." Lin Xiner said, "So I have to try to find Ximen Jingxuan.
Lead away."
"I would like to listen to the arrangement of the Young Palace Master." Xing Yao Yueyao said in unison.
Lin Xiner said, "You go to the Grand Master's Mansion and try to tie up Lin Ke'er."
"Kidnapping the second young lady?" Yue Yao was a little surprised. The young palace master had stayed in the Grand Master's Mansion for so many years and had never done anything to Lin Ke'er despite being wronged. This time she actually gave such an order.
"Yes, if you kidnap Lin Ke'er and leave my father helpless, Ximen Jingxuan will definitely take action." Lin Xiner said with certainty. Based on Ximen Jingxuan's concern for Lin Ke'er, he will not ignore it. When the time comes, he will
If she leaves the palace to find Lin Keer, she can search Mo Yaxuan thoroughly.
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Yueyao Xingyao said with cupped hands. Although they did not understand the relationship between Ximen Jingxuan and Lin Ke'er, they only followed the orders of the young palace master.
In fact, Lin Ke'er may not know that Ximen Jingxuan has an incomprehensible feeling towards her. This feeling makes Lin Xiner curious, but she is sure it exists and she might as well use it.
After Yue Yao and Xing Yao left, Yan'er also came back from cooking. When she saw Lin Xiner, she couldn't help but talk about what she had just heard.
"Miss, do you know? I just went to the dining room and heard someone say that Chen Shangshu committed suicide last night out of fear of crime. He was found hanging on the beam in the study room early in the morning and died long ago." Yan'er said in a very exaggerated tone,
"I heard that the prince has rushed to Shangshu Mansion."
"Chen Rufeng committed suicide?" When Lin Xiner heard the news, the first thing she thought of was that it was absolutely unbelievable. The experienced Chen Rufeng should be a stubborn old man who would fight to the end and would never commit suicide to end his life.
"Yes!" Yan'er nodded, "I was really shocked when I heard this, but I heard that Chen Shangshu had weird thoughts in the palace and was discovered by the emperor. He was dismissed from office first, and then he knew that his deeds were exposed, ruining his life.
He was so famous that he left a suicide note and hanged himself."
Early in the morning, the news spread really fast. Lin Xiner smiled secretly, remembering that she saw an emissary going to see Ximen Jingxuan last night, and now she thought that it was probably related to this matter. The news spread so fast, that is,
In order to let people know about this matter as quickly as possible, the news was deliberately spread.
Ximen Jingxuan knew how to seize the opportunity. After learning about the situation faced by Chen Rufeng, he pursued the victory and made it look like Chen Rufeng committed suicide out of fear of crime. In this way, Chen Rufeng was easily eliminated without any effort or disturbing the court.
Including his old friends who were tabooed by Ximen Jingxuan, they were also destroyed.
Lin Xiner once again saw how cruel and ruthless Ximen Jingxuan was under his indifferent appearance. He would remove without leaving any trace anyone who he thought could no longer be used, or who could easily create hidden dangers for the future.
Perhaps this is the way people who shoulder the important task of protecting the country and the country have a way of doing things that is different from ordinary people. There is no room for any affection or carelessness.
Thinking of this, Lin Xin'er felt a little shocked. In the eyes of Ximen Jingxuan, the Taishi Mansion today is a high-ranking position. This is not a position that a person with a foreign surname should have. She wonders whether it will end up like Shangshu Mansion in the future.
The end, or worse than Chen Rufeng?
Although Lin Bo was very cold to Lin Xiner and did not give her any fatherly love, the fact that the relationship between father and daughter is thicker than water cannot be erased. Even if he didn't care about Liu Suixiang, the third wife, Lin Xiner would still care about her own kiss.
Dad's safety.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Yan'er saw that Lin Xiner hadn't spoken for a long time, so she quickly shouted.
"Oh, it's okay." Lin Xiner came back to her senses and shook her head, "I was just sighing for Chen Shangshu and Mrs. Shui Qing."
The imperial court is really not something that can be touched. In order to achieve the desired goal, anyone can become a pawn. Anyone will go from prosperity to decline overnight, and get an unexpected and tragic ending. In fact, in all things,
There is no obvious right or wrong, the only judgment is power.
"Forget it, miss, let's not mention them. You were also harmed a lot by them." Yan'er said, taking the food out of the basket and placing it on the broken table.
Looking at the three dishes and one soup as usual, Lin Xiner smiled. Ximen Jingxuan was not too cautious and did not cut down on his food.
"Yan'er, come and eat with me." Lin Xin'er sat by the bed, picked up the chopsticks at the table, and greeted Yan'er. They used to eat together, but when they arrived at Prince Xuan's Mansion, out of fear, they returned to their original ways.
At that time, Yan'er would not eat until she had finished eating, but now that she was driven into this shabby house, she didn't need to pay so much attention to it.
"Miss, when can you move back to Plum Blossom Garden?" Yan'er sat next to her, still hopeful.
Lin Xiner ate her meal without answering. How could she tell Yan'er in person that it was her intention to come here? When she could no longer live here, it was time to leave Prince Xuan's Mansion.
The news of Chen Rufeng's suicide reached the palace. There was a handwritten suicide note, the fact of suicide, and the previous incident about the fragrance of jasmine. There was a mountain of ironclad evidence that Chen Rufeng had ulterior motives, and there was also a reason for committing suicide out of fear of guilt. The ministers could not say anything. Ximen Jing
Lie didn't go and say anything more. Although he was an important minister of the imperial court, since he died, it has lost any meaning. For a king, it is the most urgent task to select new officials to take over the affairs and ensure that the affairs of the imperial court are not chaotic.
.
On the other hand, Queen Jiang Ziyin was still thinking about Chen Rufeng. After all, she didn't understand Chen Rufeng's true intentions in supporting the prince. All she saw was that Chen Rufeng was devoted to the prince and was an important member of the prince's party.
"Are you saying that Chen Shangshu's death is related to Lin Xiner?" Jiang Ziyin asked suspiciously after hearing what Mrs. Zhiqi said.
Mrs. Zhiqi, as Jiang Ziyin's former personal maid, was granted permission by the Queen before she got married. If she wanted to enter the palace, she could go at any time. The Queen's Jinhuayuan was her natal home.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhiqi, who was bored in Prince Xuan's Mansion, felt that her frightened body had recovered a little, so she entered the palace and came to Jiang Ziyin. The master and servant took care of the house and talked about Lin Xiner and Jiang Ziyin.
Ziyin asked Madam Zhiqi concernedly if the new princess had ever made things difficult for her? After all, outsiders knew that Madam Shui Qing was beaten to death at the instigation of Lin Xiner.
While Mrs. Zhiqi was speaking, she accidentally mentioned the situation of Lin Xiner she saw. She had also received a thirty-year ban. Mrs. Shui Qing was dead, but Lin Xiner was still able to move from the Plum Blossom Court to the side room in the backyard in the middle of the night.
.
This makes people wonder about the real situation of Lin Xin'er being punished with the cane. Thinking of her origin, she has doubts about Chen Rufeng's death.
