"Come here!" Baili Rusong roared and pointed at Lin Chu with trembling fingers: "Take Lin Chu down, life or death!"
"Ha." Lin Chu smiled lightly: "Then let's see who dies first!"
In the tense atmosphere, Lin Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Baili Mingshuang slowly: "If the Queen doesn't mind, I can teach the unscrupulous son of the Baili family a lesson for you!"
"Rusong, step back!" Baili Mingshuang sighed and said.
"Why!"
Baili Mingshuang's eyes were slightly cold: "I am not discussing with you!"
Lin Chu's attack on Baili Rusong seemed reckless, but it was actually justified.
She firmly grasped the doubtful points in Yu Chongjun's confession, insisting that Baili Rusong was bending the law for personal gain. And she mentioned putting out fires and rescuing people at this moment, which was just to delay time and confirm that everyone was slacking off and ignoring the life and death of the concubine.
When she was at a disadvantage, she had already planned a way to deal with it. As for whether there was any physical evidence found by Zongzheng Mansion, she would definitely be able to escape unscathed today.
If we continue to entangle, it will only be the Baili clan who will make a fool of themselves.
Baili Mingshuang's eyes grew colder and she looked deeply at Lin Chu. This young man's thoughts and tricks... would eventually become the most unfavorable stumbling block on the Baili clan's prosperous road!
The coldness in the eldest sister's eyes was something Baili Rusong had never seen before. In her trance, it actually matched the majesty of her father, making Baili Rusong feel like a thorn in her back, and she didn't dare to speak for a while.
"Aunt Jin, go and notify everyone to send more manpower, rush to Xianfu Palace as soon as possible, and make sure to control the fire. No matter what, Concubine Xian wants to see people die... she wants to see corpses!"
"As for the truth about the fire..."
"It is my duty to investigate the case." Lin Zhi said calmly: "The empress needs to appease the harem as soon as possible."
"Bring all the survivors of Xianfu Palace back to Zongzheng Mansion!" Lin Zhi did not give anyone a chance to object. His narrow phoenix eyes swept towards Eunuch Mo: "Please come and go too."
The ghost guard moved like the wind, and before he could finish his words, Eunuch Mo and Yu Chongjun were put in chains and dragged away, and the other part rushed into the sea of fire. They moved so fast, like ghosts, that everyone trembled.
"If anyone has doubts about today's events, I welcome him to come to Zongzheng Mansion to observe."
Everyone shuddered again, Zongzheng Mansion is a place where anyone can go? Does this... of you count as a threat?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Lin Zhi looked at Lin Chu faintly: "Are you waiting for someone to let you have a meal?"
Lin Chu's lips curled up slightly: "Mother, Lin Chu takes leave!"
Baili Mingshuang did not stop her and watched the two Lin brothers and their entourage leave the harem in a grand manner. She sighed quietly only when there was no more people in sight.
"I'm really sorry, everyone, but the banquet will be canceled today. Please go back."
The smile between her lips and teeth was gentle and dignified: "Don't talk nonsense before everything is decided."
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
Even if Baili Mingshuang didn't remind him, so many forces were involved in the Xianfu Palace fire, who would dare to talk nonsense outside?
"Sixth Master." In the deserted corner, Lu An approached Lin Chu with a smile: "Master Lin asked you to go back to Xishan later."
Lin Chu raised his eyebrows: "What now?"
Lu An blinked: "Come with me, Zongzheng Mansion welcomes you."
The two walked through a long and narrow tunnel in darkness, and suddenly light appeared and the stars moved.
There was a rickety suspension bridge in front of me, and the words "Naihe Bridge" on the old wooden sign beside the bridge were as red as blood.
The river water under the bridge is as chaotic as lead slurry, and there is no sound as if it is stagnant water. The shore is covered with large blooming flowers of the other side of the river. The flowers are as red as fire, but there are no green leaves to match.
The flowers and leaves of the flowers on the other side do not meet each other, as if they are sinking back and forth in the misery of the world and are helpless.
The road on the Naihe bridge is Naihe. Right and wrong do not cross the Wangchuan River.
Lin Chu took a deep breath. Chief Zong Zheng was so... quite depressing!
