Chapter 809 The bitter plot
The discussion below became increasingly heated and polarized, making the little kid's head hurt.
Little Yining clenched her fists, unable to bear it any longer, and said to the old man pretending to be pitiful, "Dad, don't worry! Grandpa Uncle gets upset just by seeing you, and he won't let you have dinner in the palace!"
Lin Yuzan: (▼へ▼メ), this unfilial daughter, what nonsense is she talking about!
Even if his daughter exposed him, the show had to go on. The old man lowered his head sadly and sighed, "Dad knows."
Seeing this scene, the spectators who did not know the truth sighed again, and many shook their heads and lamented that the child did not know the hardships at home.
When Xiao Yining heard these words that looked down on her, she immediately exploded and loudly retorted: "My uncle is very good to my family, he would never..."
Before she could finish her words, a big hand suddenly appeared, covered her excited little mouth, and lifted her away from the railing.
"Uuuuuuu..."
The kid was startled and started hitting the person with his chubby little hands without caring who the person was.
At this moment, she heard a familiar low scolding voice: "Sister Qing, stop messing around!"
Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙&34;a, uncle, why is he here?
The little girl looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in disbelief, but she soon knew the purpose of his visit.
Wang Cheng glanced at her helplessly, then picked up his old rival's trick and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Shun'an. My parents have gone to the palace to plead for you."
The old man looked up again, "Thank you!"
At this moment, he seemed to have just noticed the peace lock dangling on his daughter's chest, and tears slid down his face. "Qing Jie'er, this peace lock is your grandmother's most beloved thing. You..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Cheng took off the safety lock and, with the crisp sound of the bell, threw it steadily into the arms of his old rival. He sighed and said, "Shun'an, the spirits of Master and his wife are in the underworld and will protect you. Go soon and return soon."
Lin Yuzan nodded heavily, his silence was worth more than a thousand words.
The cart moved forward quickly, and the old man's eyes remained on the second-floor corridor of Chunmanlou for a long time until it was out of his sight, and then he slowly lowered his head.
Xiao Yining, who knows the temperaments of the two old men well:-_-||, such a pretentious acting!
She lowered her eyes and saw that the sentimental person among the onlookers had tears in his eyes and was wiping his eyes.
The two little sisters beside him were also aroused by the public opinion below. They looked worried and stared at the figure that was walking away.
Yu Ke said worriedly, "Sister Princess, since His Majesty dotes on you so much, he won't do anything to Father Lin, right?"
Little Yining opened her mouth and was about to say that she was fine, but the old man holding her replied first, "We can only leave it to fate. I just didn't expect that four years ago, Master and his wife would die in a natural disaster while coming to Beijing to look for friends. Now Shun'an has come to Yanjing to follow Master and his wife's wishes, and he will also encounter frequent accidents."
"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, princess sister, could it be that the deaths of your grandparents were caused by the people who assassinated your father?" Zhang Nishang speculated with her imagination running wild.
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng answered for his niece: "Ms. Zhang, whether it is true or not, we have no way of verifying it."
Xiao Yining: (?_?), I don’t need endorsements, thank you!
The little kid shut his mouth speechlessly and rolled his eyes secretly at the old man who was still acting.
Zhang Nishang stopped talking and turned to look at the departing team again.
Pei Yi saw the crowd below gradually dispersing, so he pulled Wang Gungun, who was holding up his golden finger, away from the railing and said to the old man, "Brother Chengzi, have you had lunch? If not, why not join us? By the way, Senior Brother Leng is next door, Brother Chengzi can stop by and say hello."
Leng Shuyu, who was also standing in the outer corridor, just across the wall, couldn't help but look annoyed when he heard this. However, when he heard Wang Cheng's polite refusal out of concern that they might be avoiding something, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He looked at his father cautiously and whispered, "Dad, go in. The team escorting Lin Yuzan has gone far away."
"Escort?"
Leng Qingyin glanced at him noncommittally. "You've been spoiled by your mother to the point where you only know some clever tricks. You haven't remembered a single word of my teachings. Lin Yuzan is using this self-torture tactic. Even if the Emperor wants to do something to him because of his parents, he must silence Youyou first."
Then, he turned and walked into the box, and changed the subject to praise, "This boy has a good heart. He actually came up with a strategy to deal with today's situation last night."
Leng Shuyu's face was gloomy for a moment. He stared at the embarrassed figure that was about to disappear in the crowd. His hands hidden in his sleeves clenched quietly without him realizing it.
After a moment, he calmed down the complicated emotions in his heart, walked into the box, and continued to speak to his father in favor of his mother.
Lin Yuzan, who had caused a sensation in the city, came before the emperor with all his actions and rumors.
He raised his eyes to take a look at the emperor's stern expression, then knelt on one knee, bowing his hands in a dignified and dignified manner: "I, Lin Yuzan, pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Sheng Jingchen summoned this man to the palace openly for the first time. He took a good look at him under the bright sunlight and asked, "Lin Yuzan, you are so audacious! You even dared to plot against me!"
Faced with the questioning, Lin Yuzan remained calm. He looked up at the emperor and explained, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of plotting against you. I was simply forced to protect myself by the situation. Besides, I cannot influence rumors."
"Your Majesty ordered me to participate in this special examination and to be among the top ten. I will definitely be targeted by those with ulterior motives. Moreover, I have been attacked many times in recent days, which is no longer reasonable. The people of Yanjing need a reasonable truth."
Sheng Jingchen raised his lips in a sarcastic arc, radiating the emperor's pressure on the man on the ground: "So you spread rumors and made people mistakenly think that I wanted to kill you?"
Lin Yuzan remained undaunted and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I simply wish to prove to the world that you are a benevolent ruler. The one who truly desires my life is someone else."
Seeing him so calm, the emperor smiled coldly and waited quietly for his eloquent words to convince him.
Lin Yuzan also continued, "Your Majesty monitors me day and night. I'm sure you're aware of my unusual background and have already sent people to the Lin family to conduct a thorough investigation."
"I also learned a few days ago that I might not be my father's biological son, and that my mother is actually the long-missing former Crown Princess Lian Shu. If it were only one of them, I might be able to protect myself, but now, once everyone knows this, I'm afraid no one will want me to live. What happened last night was just the beginning. There will be no shortage of people who will use this to make a fuss. However, no matter who ultimately kills me, this false accusation will fall on Your Majesty, damaging your reputation."
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "In this case, I have to thank you for protecting my reputation."
Lin Yuzan immediately flattered him: "Your Majesty works day and night, cares about the people, and is benevolent and virtuous. I cannot bear to see Your Majesty suffer criticism because of me."
Sheng Jingchen seemed pleased by these words and chuckled deeply and meaningfully. He then asked Lin Yuzan a fatal question: "Have you found out who your biological father is?"
