Don’t think that just saying “subject” can wipe away the disaster victims. So many people have died, how can it be solved with just one sentence?
The emperor looked at Lin Daiyu who was behind her, then at Lin Jiusi who was answering in front of him, and suddenly smiled.
He stood up and came to the two of them. After looking Jiusi up and down, he said: "Your name is Lin Jiusi, right? I heard your father mentioned you, saying that although you are young, you are very skilled and a very capable person."
The child, when I saw him today, is indeed as capable as he said."
Daiyu couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her sister being praised. She secretly glanced at Jiusi several times. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't mess around in the palace, she would have wanted to give Jiusi a bear hug.
After Jiusi heard this, he just wanted to roll his eyes: "I don't dare to be a servant, it's just some unsightly tricks."
The so-called praise is just using her to make a deal, otherwise no one would mention it, so why bother mentioning her!
Seeing that praising Jiusi was of no use to Jiusi, the emperor changed another one: "As far as I know, your aunt Liu died at the hands of the Jia family. Why do you still live in the Jia family and protect her like this?"
Where is your sister?
Don’t you hate the Jia family and her?”
Daiyu didn't expect the emperor to say that. She was so shocked that she subconsciously wanted to raise her head to look. She was pulled by Jiu Si without any trace. Only then did she regain her composure. She lowered her head, with a nervous and uneasy look on her face, and silently listened to their conversation.
.
Jiusi still responded calmly: "My daughter and my sister are biological sisters born from the same father, and it is the Jia family who have enmity with them. Even if it is hate, it is just hatred for the Jia family, so what has it to do with my sister?
As for why we live in Jia's house, it's just because my father is far away in Yangzhou and can't return to Beijing. I don't want the Chen sisters to live alone in the capital, so I let the Chen sisters live in Jia's house. The father's name cannot be violated."
The emperor seemed to have guessed that she would say this, and then said: "What if I told you that your father would use your freedom and life and death in exchange for your sister's safety and security for the rest of her life?"
Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore and exclaimed: "This is impossible, my father would not treat my sister like that..."
The emperor heard her exclamation, but said: "How did you know that your father would not treat her like this? She is just a little concubine. There is nothing surprising even if she is given away. What's more, she has a wild personality and
A concubine who has never been raised by herself!"
Jiusi grabbed the excited Daiyu, raised her head, looked at him with an indifferent expression and said, "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know something. All the wealth of the Lin family is in the hands of my daughter."
Therefore, even if I am treated as a trading item, I am still a trading item that is richer than you, a poor emperor, and I am still one that you cannot control.
When the emperor saw that she was still protecting Lin Daiyu at this time, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise, wanting to see what she was thinking.
It could be seen that her expression did not change, so she had to retract her gaze and continued: "If you have no freedom and cannot control your own life and death, then what can you do even if you have all the wealth?"
Jiusi became a little annoyed when she saw him going around and around to stir up dissension, even if he didn't talk about the topic.
She asked him impatiently: "What on earth does the emperor want to tell his daughter?
To sow discord between ministers and family members is not what an emperor should do. What on earth do you want to do by going around like this?"
Seeing that she dared to question the emperor, Daiyu couldn't help but open her eyes wide in shock with a look of disbelief.
At the same time, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She was worried that her sister would anger the emperor and be punished by the emperor, but she also didn't know how she would help her sister out of trouble after she was really punished. She was really confused for a moment. p>
Jiusi asked very directly, but unfortunately, the emperor did not answer her direct question.
He turned back and sat down, while continuing to review the memorial, he said without raising his head: "You are such an interesting girl. I like it very much, so I will give you a chance to survive.
As long as you have the ability to leave today, I can let you exchange fate with your sister-in-law. You will be safe and sound for the rest of your life, and she will do what I want you to do on your behalf. How about"
Although Daiyu didn't know what the emperor wanted her sister to do, she still subconsciously grabbed Jiusi's hand: "Sister, if... if what the emperor said is true, why don't you let me stay? You are so powerful, you will definitely escape.
Go."
Jiusi turned his head and glared at her, telling her to shut up. Then, he looked up at the emperor and said, "I have other choices. The emperor wants to break the situation. I am willing to be the sharp blade, but
It's not the deal between my father Lin Ruhai and you, nor is it the choice you forced my daughter to make, but my daughter's voluntary choice to be this knife.
Your Majesty, you must also know in your heart that there is a difference between voluntarily giving one's life and one who does not voluntarily. Since you know my daughter's ability, you must also know how powerful my daughter is when she does something seriously." p>
The emperor put the memorial aside, looked up at her, and said, "You can guess what I want you to do."
Jiu Si thought of the victims who had starved to death and froze to death, and couldn't help but said sarcastically: "Isn't it hard to guess?
Under the emperor's feet in the capital, disaster victims actually starved to death and froze to death, but no one took care of it. Your Majesty, do you think this is normal?
Also, before the cold winter came, the imperial court had prepared money and food for disaster relief in advance based on Qin Tianjian's speculation. As a result, the money and food sent for disaster relief disappeared.
Your Majesty, you are not a fool. How could you not know these things? How could you not send people to investigate? You would not allow those powerful people to embarrass us who are providing disaster relief for no reason.
The only explanation is that Your Majesty knew these things, but for some reason you didn't take care of it, or couldn't. Then, combined with Your current situation, Your Majesty, you can immediately understand what is going on.
."
After hearing her guess, the emperor's expression did not change. He nodded and said, "Well, it sounds like that. Let's continue."
What Jiusi wants to say next is not something Daiyu can listen to. The less you know about royal matters, the better, because you can live longer in this way.
She touched Daiyu's head tenderly, patted her comfortingly, and then knocked her unconscious.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I can let my younger sister Daiyu go to the side hall to rest for a while"
The emperor looked at Lin Daiyu who was unconscious in her arms. Without saying anything, he called two palace maids over and carried her to a soft couch in the side hall to rest.
What he wanted from the beginning was Lin Jiusi's knife. Lin Daiyu was just used by him to contain Lin Ruhai and Lin Jiusi. It was the same whether they were present or not, but it was just to survive longer.
Seeing that they were being carried away, he gestured to Jiusi: "You can continue talking."
Without Daiyu here, Jiusi no longer had any scruples, and bluntly stated his guess: "A country cannot tolerate two emperors, especially the emperor. You are still the one who is restricted. I guess the emperor has already tolerated it."
The Supreme Emperor no longer wants to dictate the affairs of the court, so he used those victims to set up this situation and prepare to clean up the manpower left by the Supreme Emperor in the court."
