597 The Emperor's Heart Is Difficult to Understand
"Your Majesty! She is waiting for reinforcements with a delaying strategy! You can't give her three hours!! Now the evidence is conclusive. Isn't it giving her another three hours to give her a chance to get rid of the crime? Wouldn't it be that she would let Concubine Ying die in vain?"
When Bai Fei heard Man Yue’s request, she just shut up and couldn’t help but talk too much. She stood up and looked at Man Yue excitedly.
At this moment, two gloomy eyes looked at her again in the dark, reminding her to pay attention to her emotions and not to ruin big things.
Man Yue also noticed this vaguely, and she whispered a few instructions to Ning Jing behind her.
"Tell Tieying, I'm on my left hand three degrees."
After the words of the Moon fell, Ning Jing nodded and retreated to the end.
Concubine Bai stood up so excitedly, Zhang Xiuhui couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up, raised her hand, and slapped Concubine Bai without any hesitation.
A snap sound was crisp and loud! He slapped it firmly on Concubine Bai's little face, which he thought was so gorgeous.
Concubine Bai was obviously stunned and stood there with a tilted face.
This is the first time that Zhang Xiuhui has attacked the concubine in the harem, or in front of everyone.
"I remind you again and again, what occasion is this? What should you do as a concubine? You have always regarded my words as a fright! Yun Bai!! I can't bear to you anymore! Even if the emperor wants to punish me today, I will admit it! But I will never allow you to continue to lose the emperor's face!!" Zhang Xiuhui changed her previous gentle, calm and dignified image, three points of harshness and sternness, but she still attacked Concubine Bai even if she couldn't bear it.
No matter what, it is true that Zhang Xiuhui takes action.
The Moon looked at it and frowned quickly.
Zhang Xiuhui beats Concubine Bai, which is not as simple as being unable to bear it! Zhang Xiuhui has always been in a moderate manner in doing things. When she hits people in front of everyone, she must have to take action first before she can fight back. Now she has to do it first. No matter how you say that, Zhang Xiuhui has the upper hand.
Unless she has other plans!!
"Empress, Concubine Bai is still young. Even if she talks a few more words, she won't beat her so seriously. If something happened to Concubine Ying today, it's understandable that you are anxious. This is your birthday banquet again. I can understand that you are dissatisfied, but it's really wrong for you to do it. Concubine Bai is also anxious to find the real murderer. Is your temper too much today?"
Lin Jian did not clearly blame Zhang Xiuhui for protecting Concubine Bai, but instead beat fifty boards each, which gave Zhang Xiuhui enough face.
The queen who had been treated coldly by him showed her fierce and fierce side in front of him for the first time. He was quite interesting to watch, so he didn't want to blame her too much.
"Concubine Bai, sit down first. I will interrogate personally. As for the Queen's case, if Concubine Ying's case is resolved, I will hold the Queen accountable for the action." Lin Jian said this, blocking Concubine Bai's mouth.
I usually don’t think this woman is too troublesome in the harem, but now I don’t restrain myself in front of so many people. It’s true that he is too indulging her in the face of her, which makes her more lawless and want to ride on his head.
Concubine Bai is like this now, except for half of her own reasons, and the rest is because of him! He spoiled her and regarded her as a substitute for someone who could not be loved. The further away from the full moon, the more he wanted to find a sense of sustenance and substitution in Concubine Bai. Concubine Bai thought that Lin Jian had already fallen in love with her without realizing it, and sooner or later he would be moved by her substitute.
Concubine Bai thought so, but she was just being smart and self-righteous.
If Lin Jian really gets moved by other women, then it should be Zhang Xiuhui. It’s not the turn of Concubine Bai who only knows how to act coquettishly and compete for favor!
Concubine Bai was slapped by the queen Zhang Xiuhui in public, and the emperor did not immediately make decisions for her. Zhang Xiuhui was unspeakable and unwilling to accept it. But in front of the civil and military officials in the court, she did not dare to confront the emperor directly. She could only endure the dissatisfaction in her heart, suppressed her anger and barely sat next to Lin Jian.
"Empress, sit down too. You are the lord of the six palaces. You don't let go of your temper. How can you do it at will?" Lin Jian said this at first, saying that he was blaming Zhang Xiuhui, but after all, when Concubine Bai was beaten, Lin Jian didn't punish Zhang Xiuhui now, saying that he would settle the score later, but it would be a different matter whether the emperor was in that mood at that time.
Although Zhang Xiuhui sat down at this time, she muttered in a low voice.
"Does the emperor think this is farting? Just let it go? I have been angry for a day or two, and the emperor should understand."
Zhang Xiuhui's speech was always relaxed and rude, let alone in front of Lin Jian. This was the first time she was so casual and rude.
Concubine Bai was stunned when she heard this, staring at her with a look of not knowing her at all.
"Oh? Is the queen very angry? It seems that I have been to Kunning Palace a little recently. How long has the queen been holding it in? One month or two months? I don't remember that it's not that long! Didn't I go to the queen's place only once last month? That night - at least three more times."
Lin Jian snorted coldly, but said something that made Zhang Xiuhui blush.
Zhang Xiuhui simply bit her teeth and made a move. It doesn't matter.
"Your Majesty! You can't see that kind of thing! You have to consider all aspects of the factors! Don't the emperor know?"
"How come I don't know? It seems that the queen is not satisfied!!"
Lin Jian and Zhang Xiuhui were talking about flirting and sarcastic words that only happened between the young couple. Concubine Bai was stunned by the sound of her. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed this scene.
Emperor - Are you infected with something evil?
Concubine Bai's face was pale and unstable.
Lin Jian sat upright, and his cold eyes fell on Man Yue, no longer as casual as he pretended to be the moment before.
"Linghu Manyue, I can give you the opportunity to verify the case and prove your innocence. But - I won't give you three hours!"
At this moment, Lin Jian's voice was very normal, as if the person who flirted with Zhang Xiuhui before was not him at all! Even though only he said before, Zhang Xiuhui and Concubine Bai heard it, his transformation when facing Linghu Manyue was also very different.
Different, Zhang Xiuhui watched from the side and once again deeply realized that no matter what she did or how much she did, it could not replace Linghu Manyue's status in his heart. He would only occasionally give her a charity and laughter and scold her. Most of the time, in his heart, Linghu Manyue's status was unshakable!
"Emperor! I am not proving my innocence! I am originally innocent! There is no conclusive evidence to indicate that it was my deeds in Concubine Ying's death! It's just that the suspected evidence points to me, but it never represents conclusive evidence! The late emperor once ordered that if the criminals had no conclusive evidence in the crime of the Celestial Empire, no suspects should be dealt with, and no lynching should be used to make a move! The late emperor is kind and cannot bear to die innocently. The late emperor is wise and will naturally be able to fulfill his wishes! Therefore, I need three hours not to prove my innocence, but to find the real murderer!! "
Man Yue's words were righteous and without any omissions. Not everyone had the courage to bring out the title of the Emperor, but she moved it out for granted! Lin Jian looked at her, and there was a gentle look in her eyes that could not tell whether it was a smile or a helpless one.
"Linghu Manyue, you are so smart, I can't tell you. However, since the matter is related to you, I will now allow you to find the real murderer within one hour! Aren't you very good at talking? Aren't you very powerful? Aren't you very capable? Haha--Is it time for me to see it?"
Lin Jian suddenly smiled, but his smile was full of unknown meaning.
At this moment, even Man Yue couldn't understand what the deep meaning of his smile meant?
Hasn't he been sure that Lin Dongyao is still alive? But he still gave her time to investigate. If he had the intention to lead Lin Dongyao out, now if someone was sent to take her down or pretend to be torture, Dongyao would appear! But he insisted on continuing to watch the play!
Man Yue frowned slightly, and did not look in the direction where Lin Dongyao was.
He will show up when she needs him the most!
So she won't be nervous about his current movements!
"One hour is just one hour, and the emperor doesn't have to put such a high hat on me! I will do my best!"
Chunyue said nothing else, and happily retreated after receiving the order.
When passing by Su Kang, Su Kang looked at her with a strange desire to speak, as if he couldn't help but want to tell Man Yue something, but due to Lin Jian's order, Su Kang could not say anything.
Man Yue intuitively felt that Su Kang's desire to speak was related to Lin Jian's smile that made her unable to understand before.
But now time is limited, and she cannot carefully appreciate what Lin Jian’s previous meaningful smile was for. She originally needed three hours to arrange everything, but now it has been reduced to only one hour left. She must seize every time to resolve the crisis in front of her.
What I said before was just suspicion, just to temporarily fool the other people in the hall. After all, someone saw her quarrel with Concubine Ying, and she was not a eunuch and palace maid from the same place. She could almost confirm that the person who pretended to be Yun Bai! Because she could perform such a play in the harem, there was still similar appearance to voice. Apart from Yun Bai, there was no second person in Kyoto of the Heavenly Dynasty!
But Yun Bai alone could not think of such a linked frame-up. He had to poison it in public, and he had to mistakenly think that the person he saw was himself without bribing the palace maids and eunuchs! If he had such an arrangement, the most likely thing around Yun Bai was the wet nurse! It just so happened that the wet nurse had not appeared today, so the suspicion was even greater!
The Moon felt that he was in the dark. In addition to Lin Dongyao, he also had a pair of eyes observing her.
However, even if she found out the wet nurse hiding in the dark now, she had no evidence to prove that it was the wet nurse who planned it all! So she needed time to re-arrange the play according to the process she wanted to see! She wanted the wet nurse to come out by herself, stand in front of everyone, and personally admit that all this was her secret instruction!
