The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 132 He must be using his position to seek personal gain
Lin Mowan curled the corners of her lips, did not refute, and obeyed obediently: "Father-in-law is right, please give me more advice."

As she said that, she turned around and gave Yuzhi a look. Yuzhi understood and stuffed a purse into Su Jing's hand. Su Jing frowned and wanted to push it away, but Yuzhi held his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, eunuch. Take a look first to see if it suits your taste."

Su Jing met her eyes, and as they exchanged glances, he seemed to understand something. He turned sideways, opened the bag in his hand, and the golden things inside made his eyes light up.

When he turned his head to look at Lin Mowan, his attitude was obviously better. He smiled and his eyes were almost narrowed into slits. "Young lady, you are right. It's nothing serious. It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Guangning is back. I heard that you two are friends. His Majesty and Princess Zhaohe want to find you to reminisce about the past. Second Master Shen is also here."

Sure enough, there is no one in this world who doesn't like money. If someone doesn't like it, it must be because the money he gave was not enough. Su Jing accepted the things, and his words of advice were clear enough, which was similar to what Lin Mowan expected.

Lin Mowan naturally understood and nodded obediently, "Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

Su Jing smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace and entered the tall red gate. Everything around it suddenly became quiet, as if we had entered a city, inexplicably feeling a little depressing.

Soon, the carriage slowly stopped, and Su Jing's voice came from outside: "The carriage can't go in any further. I'll have to trouble you to get off and walk a little."

Lin Mowan did not waste any time and quickly got out of the car. She followed Su Jing through many twists and turns to the imperial study. Lin Mowan stood outside the door waiting. Su Jing went in to pass on the message. After a while, he came out and motioned Lin Mowan to go in.

Lin Mowan nodded slightly, left Yuzhi outside, and stepped over the threshold. She walked in and slowly lowered her eyes.

In the study, Gongshu Yanyu was sitting in the main seat. Gongshu Tingyue, Gongshu Beicheng, Jiang Wenqing, and Shen Weiyuan were all there. She just glanced at them with her peripheral vision, and then knelt down respectfully after entering the room: "I, the commoner Lin Mowan, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."

She knelt on the ground with her head down, looking cautious, serious and dignified. Gongshu Yanyu looked at her, and somehow, he opened his mouth but said nothing. He just frowned in confusion, and for some unknown reason, he glanced at her suspiciously.

"Your Majesty." It was not until Shen Weiyuan reminded him that Gongshu Yanyu came back to his senses. He retracted his suspicious look and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

Then, Gongshu Yanyu spoke up: "Lin Mowan, someone accused you of seducing the royal family and trying to taint the royal bloodline. This is a heinous crime! Is this true?"

Lin Mowan's face changed when she heard this. She quickly shook her head and looked up at Gongshu Yanyu in fear and trepidation. "I didn't, I dare not. Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Gongshu Yanyu frowned upon hearing this, and turned to look at Gongshu Tingyue who was standing beside him. Gongshu Tingyue received the message from Gongshu Yanyu's eyes, and thought he had Lin Mowan in his grasp, and his eyes and eyebrows showed his pride. "Your Majesty, my people saw this with their own eyes, how could it be false?" Gongshu Tingyue stood up, raised his head and puffed out his chest, as if he had seen with his own eyes the scene of Lin Mowan being beaten to death with clubs.

Hearing her words, Lin Mowan's eyes widened in shock. She turned around with a look of grievance and disbelief. After a moment's silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "Madam, I respect you as an elder. Why do you slander me like this? You said that I seduced the royal family and confused the royal bloodline. Then who did I seduce?"

Facing Lin Mowan's seemingly heart-wrenching questioning and the tears that were about to fall, Gongshu Tingyue stood where he was, looking down at Lin Mowan with a condescending and confident look.

Their eyes met, and Gongshu Tingyue chuckled coldly and arrogantly. It was the first time that Lin Mowan saw her like this. Apart from anything else, the princess was worthy of being a princess. Even though she was already in her teens or early twenties, she still had charm and looked more dignified and noble.

She raised her eyelids slightly, her gaze fell on Gongshu Beicheng beside her, and then she spoke softly: "Little uncle, what's the matter? Don't you like her very much? At this time, shouldn't you come out and say a few words for her? Or is it just Lin Mowan who seduced you unilaterally?"

As Gongshu Tingyue spoke, his eyes revealed an irresistible pressure, as if to say, "That's all I have to say. You should know what to say."

But Gongshu Beicheng, who was suddenly called out, was obviously a little puzzled. It was strange enough that he was kept here for no reason by the mysterious Gongshu Tingyue. Now in this scene, Gongshu Beicheng naturally realized what it meant.

The tea bowl in his hand paused, then he gently placed it on the table beside him, and asked in a ridiculous tone: "Princess, what do you mean by this? Do you think that this prince and Miss Lin have an affair? This is unreasonable, right? Where is the evidence?"

Hearing this, Gongshu Tingyue was full of confidence: "Of course, my people saw you go in and out of Qingqiu Temple with their own eyes, and then you lived in the town for a while. As soon as Lin Mowan came back, you came back the next day. Tell me, is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

Facing Gongshu Tingyue's questioning, Gongshu Beicheng suddenly sneered. Seeing this, Gongshu Tingyue's face changed. Before she could ask again, Gongshu Beicheng said, "So it's because of this matter."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up from his seat and bowed to Gongshu Yanyu who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, originally this trip was considered a secret investigation, but now, in order to prove my innocence and not to tarnish my reputation, please allow me to tell you the whole story."

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Tingyue's face became even uglier, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked at Gongshu Yanyu who was sitting upstairs, with doubt in her eyes. Gongshu Yanyu looked at her with some disappointment, then turned to look at Gongshu Beicheng and said, "It's approved."

After getting the permission, Gongshu Beicheng turned to look at Gongshu Tingyue who was standing beside him, "Princess, the reason why I appeared in Qingqiu Temple is because I was ordered by His Majesty to go there to secretly investigate the local bandits. In addition to me, Dingbei Hou also knows about this. Besides, if you still don't believe it, I can send someone back to Guangling Palace to bring the secret letter sent by His Majesty that day to the princess for review. What do you think?"

He looked at her with a calm and sincere look in his eyes, but Gong Shutingyue's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. She murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible."

Then, she suddenly had an idea and turned to look at Gongshu Yanyu who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty! He must have taken advantage of his position to do something personal. I saw it with my own eyes, it can't be false! Prince Guangning has been to Qingqiu Temple and met Lin Mowan privately. The two of them have a very good relationship. All the masters in Qingqiu Temple can testify to this. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no private relationship!"
