Uncle, don't overdo it

Chapter 76 The Assassin's Origin

"Don't dare to lie to the emperor." Lin Xiner looked straight ahead and replied calmly, "The father-in-law came to deliver food to my concubine, but my concubine didn't expect him to say that he was a man bribed by my father to go to jail instead of my concubine. , so that the concubine could go to the place arranged outside the prison to heal her injuries. The concubine was ecstatic at the time, without thinking too much, she took off the hairpin and handed it to him according to his words, and he opened the lock in a few strokes and entered Prison room. Afterwards, I exchanged clothes with the concubine. By the way, the concubine’s palace dress was given by the second prince when he went to visit the concubine. The concubine is really happy for the emperor. The second and third princes are very good-hearted, although It's just a little effort, but the concubine is still grateful."

She deliberately praised the second prince and the third prince, but left the prince alone. In the eyes of others, Lin Xiner was still thinking about Ximen Che's severe refusal to marry her.This made it even more unexpected that Ximenche would play tricks during the half stick of incense alone with her in the criminal room to help her avoid the stick.

"You said that Eunuch Tao was ordered by Master Lin to go to jail for you, so why did he become the murderer who assassinated you?" Chen Rufeng continued to ask.

"Chen Shangshu, I just said that according to my father's instructions, it is just his one-sided statement. If he is really the one my father bribed, how could he assassinate me?" Lin Xiner replied calmly, "After thinking about it , he just used the excuse that he wanted to get close to me and succeeded in the murder. He intentionally made up lies. He can only blame me for being wrong and deceived. I think my father would not do such a thing as the grand master of the court. Fortunately, the guards found it in time. I didn't let the assassin succeed, otherwise even if I was stabbed to death, it would be unfair."

Lin Xiner responded with a sense of advance and retreat. She not only admitted her fault, but also pointed out the whereabouts of Eunuch Tao. She also reminded everyone that if she could kill someone in the prison of the criminal room, the origin of the murderer would not be simple. It would not be her father, Lin Xin. Bo, that is to say, someone who competes with Lim Bo in strength.

Obviously, the person who went to the prison to deliver food first and assassinated Eunuch Tao went for her.But if you follow Eunuch Tao's line to investigate, it is very likely that you will find Ximen Jingyu. Even if Ximen Jingyu hates her, he will not kill her at this time.

So, who would send someone to sneak into the prison of the criminal room to take her life at the risk?

If he wanted to kill her so desperately, he must have hated her deeply. Lin Xiner glanced sideways at Chen Rufeng. At this moment, he was the only one who wanted to die immediately.

However, Chen Rufeng is not an ordinary person who can achieve the position of Shangshu, stand in the court, and survive two dynasties, and he will definitely not do such a trivial thing.

Who is it?

Lin Xiner had already gone through the various characters in the court in her mind, but she had no clue.

But it doesn't matter, it happens to be able to push this matter to Chen Rufeng.Anyway, I and his Liangzi are settled, this trouble must be eradicated, as for the real culprit, I will leave it to future investigation.

After making up her mind, Lin Xiner pretended to be thinking about it, as if she was recalling the situation when she was assassinated, as if she had remembered something, she said in surprise, "I remembered, when Eunuch Tao drew his knife to assassinate me, he said that he would take care of Madam. revenge!"

"Stop talking nonsense, frame this official!" Chen Rufeng's expression changed immediately, and he snapped angrily.

"Master Chen thinks that Mrs. Tao is referring to Mrs. Shui Qing?" Lin Xiner turned to look at Chen Rufeng and asked seriously.

"You... Which lady have you offended?" Chen Rufeng was slightly startled.

"Aren't I just thinking about it?" Lin Xiner glanced at Chen Rufeng lightly.

"You said he mentioned Madam?" Ximen Jinglie stared at Lin Xiner with sharp eyes.

"Yes." Lin Xiner nodded, "The concubine does remember that Eunuch Tao said so. According to Master Chen's words—"

Lin Xiner turned to Chen Rufeng again, blinked her eyes and said, "The concubine really only offended Mrs. Shui Qing. Mrs. Shui Qing died because of the concubine. The concubine was punished and escaped by chance. There is no guarantee that someone will refuse to accept it and continue to replace her." revenge."

"Framed, it's clearly framed, Eunuch Tao's death is unsubstantiated, and you are allowed to speak nonsense!" Chen Ru's beard trembled.

"The concubine also wants to find out the truth about the victimization, so I implore the emperor to send someone to investigate the case strictly!" Lin Xiner said as she leaned over and kowtowed.

"It's not a trivial case to enter the criminal room for an assassination. I will never tolerate it." Ximen Jinglie said without hesitation, "Master Chen, why don't you go to the murder scene with me now and check it yourself?"

It is absolutely not allowed for someone to act recklessly under his nose. Even if Lin Xiner didn't ask for a strict investigation, he would not let it go.

"Okay, I will follow the emperor to the criminal prison, and hope that the emperor will seek justice for this minister!" Chen Rufeng also clasped his hands readily.

"Lord Chen, you don't need to let the emperor go back and forth, isn't the evidence that the assassin is related to you with you?" Lin Xiner squinted at Chen Rufeng lightly.

It only took a moment from the initial guess to the conclusive evidence. Not only Chen Rufeng couldn't react for a while, but even Ximen Jinglie looked at Chen Rufeng in surprise, wondering what evidence Lin Xiner was talking about?

"You're so bloody!" Chen Rufeng glared at Lin Xiner angrily, "Tell me clearly, where is there any evidence related to the assassin on me?"

Although Chen Rufeng has experienced wind and rain for a long time, and finally stood on the court with ups and downs, it was the first time that he was framed by a yellow-haired girl. Although he wanted Lin Xiner to die so as to take the life of his granddaughter, but he thought that He never sent an assassin to assassinate Lin Xiner, so he had a clear conscience, only filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, can my concubine get up and go to Mr. Chen to have a closer look?" Lin Xiner begged Ximen Jinglie.

"Quite." Ximen Jinglie said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Xiner stood up, and slowly moved to Chen Rufeng.

Chen Rufeng stood proudly upright, even though Lin Xiner looked left and right, he couldn't believe that there was really something suspicious about him, and he was being bluffed by this yellow-haired girl.

"Master Chen, you have the scent of jasmine on your body." Lin Xiner circled around Chen Rufeng and stood in front of him, saying, "It just so happens that I also smell like this when I'm wearing Tao Gonggong's clothes."

"So what?" Chen Rufeng didn't take it seriously. It's the season when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. What's so strange about passing through the bushes and smelling the fragrance of flowers?

However, Ximen Jinglie's eyes flickered following Lin Xiner's words. It would not be surprising if it was the scent of other flowers, but the scent of jasmine was rare.Jasmine comes from Yuehua Country, and there are not many in the entire capital.

If you want to leave the scent of flowers on your body, you must stay in the flowers for a long time. One or two pots grown by yourself will not have such an effect, but the jasmine bushes in the imperial garden in the palace can do it. As far as he knows, In the capital, there is only this jasmine bush in the imperial garden, which was obtained as a tribute from the Yuehua Kingdom a few years ago.
