Lin Yinan and Lin Yunlong were not the only ones in the room. Lin Yinan glanced sideways at Bai Lichen sitting there on his right, as well as Lin Yixiang and Nangong Nuoer on his left. His eyes darkened and he said, "I don't know what the father is."
What does the emperor want his ministers to explain?"
Lin Yunlong's body was filled with chills, Nangong Nuo'er's eyes were full of gloating, and Bai Lichen, an outsider, all made Lin Yinan even more curious about the origin of the short knife in his hand.
The room was quiet, and everyone focused their attention on Lin Yinan, trying to see the panic look on his face, but unfortunately they couldn't.
"I heard that you have a precious sword in your house, which you got from the Qingming Kingdom. Is this true or false?"
"I do have one in my house, but I don't know if it is the 'treasured sword' my father called it."
Lin Yinan took out the knife very calmly and handed it into Lin Yunlong's hand. When he met Lin Yunlong's cold gaze, he didn't say anything to defend himself.
Lin Yunlong looked at the thing in his hand, then slowly raised it, looked at Bai Lichen, and asked: "Is this the lost treasure of your Qingming Kingdom?"
Baili Chen looked at the short knife in Lin Yunlong's hand from afar. After a moment of silence, he nodded and replied, "Yes, that's the one."
The atmosphere in the room became even more tense because of Bai Lichen's answer. Lin Yunlong looked at Lin Yinan angrily. Originally, he had already taken care of everything and could let Bai Lichen and others leave smoothly right away, but
Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the last moment.
Something was lost, and the other party swore that it was in the Eighth Emperor's Mansion. He sent someone to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, and Lin Yinan actually brought the thing back without concealing it. Lin Yunlong didn't know what kind of trick Lin Yinan was playing.
But it was obvious that his tricks made Lin Yunlong lose face.
"Father, don't you know who gave me this thing?" Lin Yinan glanced at Nangong Nuo'er in surprise and said, "I thought Princess Luo had already told the whole story here.
.”
"Eighth Prince, don't talk nonsense. What does this treasure have to do with me in your house?" Nangong Nuo'er raised her eyebrows, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with her. "The prince and I just happened to meet this matter, and I accompanied him
Just come to see the emperor."
"Really? Then this is quite a coincidence."
Lin Yinan chuckled softly. Bailichen already knew the reason why he had this knife. According to Nangong Nuoer, the reason why she and Lin Yixiang appeared here was because of Bailichen. So Bailichen took the three of them
What is the purpose of gathering here? Do you want to see how you and Nangong Nuoer shirk responsibility from each other and watch a good show before leaving?
"I would like to ask, when did you lose your treasure?" Lin Yinan tilted his head and met Bai Lichen's eyes, "How did you know that there is such a knife in my house?"
Bailichen's eyes flashed, and before he could answer, he heard Lin Yinan's voice again.
"Are you so sure that the knife in my hand is the one you are looking for?"
Baili Chen was stunned. For some reason, he felt a little strange after hearing Lin Yinan's words.
"Your Majesty, can you let me take a look at this dagger?"
Bai Lichen made a request. After getting the short knife in Lin Yunlong's hand, he took a quick look and said, "Yes, that's the one."
"That's strange." Lin Yinan raised his voice slightly and said with a hint of smile: "This dagger was a wedding gift given to me by General Nangong a few months ago. It has been in my house for a long time. How did it get to you today?"
Did you just remember to look for it?"
"This is impossible!" Nangong Nuoer became anxious when he heard that Lin Yinan wanted to put the responsibility on his father. "Eighth Prince, don't think that because my father is not in the capital now, you can use him as a shield at will!"
"Whether I have really wronged General Nangong or not is not something you, Princess, can decide with just one sentence. The general doesn't want you to know about this, so you'd better not know about it. Shut up and don't say anything. Otherwise, it might backfire.
It won’t be good if it doesn’t.”
Ever since that day when Nangong Lingfeng and others captured Lu Zhiyao and tried to hurt his life, Lin Yinan's repulsive attitude towards Nangong Nuo'er has been very obvious. Now he dares to say this in front of the emperor, but Nangong Nuo'er
I didn't dare to refute it in front of the emperor, so I could only keep this account in my heart again and wait to return it to him in the future.
"General Nangong told me at the beginning that he did get this knife after a lot of effort. But I think this is not the one you threw away, because General Nangong also said that he found someone to get it specially for me.
Made.”
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, he looked at Bai Lichen again.
"Take a good look. Is it really the treasure of your country? If so, you can take it away now. If not, then I can also give you this fake knife. As for where the real knife is, I can't
And I know, if you are not at ease, you can send someone to my house to search, you can do it at any time."
Lin Yinan's words were so confident that everyone understood that even if they sent people to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion immediately, nothing would be found.
Baili Chen frowned and lowered his head, looking at the short knife several times carefully, and finally found the end.
Looking at Lin Yinan in disbelief, he was stunned for a while and then said in a low tone: "It's indeed not the case."
"It's okay if it's not." Lin Yinan smiled with satisfaction. This result seemed to be within his expectation.
Lin Yinan trusts Mu Ranchen's craftsmanship, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to bring him back to do this for him. The Mu family's swords are not only famous in the Xia Lai Kingdom, but Bai, who is a member of the Qingming Kingdom, is probably
Li Chen also heard about it. As early as that day when Bai Li Chen found him and mentioned this knife, Lin Yinan wanted to make a fake one just in case. What he didn't expect was that Bai Li Chen would make a fake one after so many days.
I didn't mention this matter again until later. Fortunately, I had so many days so that my thoughts at this time could be so clear.
Baili Chen was still weighing the short knife in his hand. From the weight to the feel to the lines on the blade and the gems on the scabbard, the knife was no different from the one he was familiar with. It was just the strangeness on the handle that made it unique.
Changed instantly. Bai Lichen looked carefully and found no other tampering with the handle of the knife, so there was no possibility that Lin Yinan used a real knife to fool himself. But he wanted to change it in just a few days.
It is impossible to shoot such a knife. Could it be that he had this fake one from the beginning?
"Do you like it? It's for you."
Lin Yinan's slightly cold voice sounded again, Baili Chen sighed secretly, and returned the knife to Lin Yinan's hand with a smile.
"It seems everything is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Lin Yinan looked at Bai Lichen in confusion and said, "It seems to be a misunderstanding, but what I want to know is, why are everyone so sure that I have this knife in my hand?"
Lin Yinan glanced meaningfully in the direction of Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang, "It seems that the princess doesn't know at all that General Nangong gave me this knife in the first place?"
"I don't know." Nangong Nuoer replied softly, "If I really knew, I wouldn't be here now."
Lin Yinan smiled silently. Hearing Lin Yunlong speak over there, he did not continue to pursue the case with Nangong Nuo'er. The future was long and he was not in a hurry.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's let it go. You stay, I still have something to ask you."
Lin Yunlong ordered Lin Yinan. After Baili Chen and others left, he sat there a little tiredly, looked at Lin Yinan with slightly squinted eyes, and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
"I wonder what father is referring to?" Lin Yinan's heart trembled unconsciously, and when he met Lin Yunlong's eyes, he said calmly: "You know my every move better than anyone else, don't you?"
Lin Yunlong was silent for a moment, and then smiled.
"Yes." Lin Yunlong nodded and continued to talk about the knife with Lin Yinan. "Why would Nangong Lingfeng give you such a knife?"
"Then you have to ask him. Not only is it a knife, but it is also a lost one from the Qingming Kingdom. Nangong Nuoer and Lin Yixiang will come over today. It must be more than just a coincidence, right?"
Lin Yunlong didn't hide anything, and directly told Lin Yinan the whole story. It was almost the same as what Lin Yinan thought. Lin Yixiang's idea finally came to him. This made Lin Yinan not sure what to say. He just suddenly remembered that he had been there for a long time.
Someone once commented on Lin Yixiang.
He said that Lin Yixiang is the most like the emperor among all the princes.
Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with what he said.
"I have decided to let Wanran go to Qingming Kingdom and leave the day after tomorrow."
Lin Wanran, besides Lin Ruoxue, can be said to be the most favored princess by the emperor. Lin Yinan was a little surprised that Lin Yunlong would talk to him about this. He smiled and asked: "Father, what you mean is that I can send Xiaoxue to
Are you back?"
Lin Yunlong let out a long sigh, leaned back on the chair and slowly closed his eyes, and said quietly: "You are really forcing me."
"No one dares to force you."
All along, you are just forcing yourself.
Lin Yinan was unable to say the last words. He thought that Lin Yunlong would not understand these truths. He has always been such a smart person and could think of various ways to control everyone in his hands. But he did not give
He left a way out for himself. He invested too much for the throne and the world.
"It's getting late, you should go back." Lin Yunlong sat there in silence for a long time, and Lin Yinan stood there with him. Until he opened his mouth and said, "If you need anything, come directly to the palace. I'll wait.
you."
Lin Yinan clenched his fist without leaving a trace, turned around immediately, and walked out of the room impatiently.
At the door, Lin Yixiang was standing there. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head to look at Lin Yinan and said, "Come for a walk with me?"
