Chapter 175
Several ministers who joined the cabinet had arrived, naturally including Lu Xiang. Lin Siran also noticed that Lu Xiang's eyes lingered on her for a while, which made her slightly uncomfortable, so she had to pretend not to notice.

When everyone was almost there, the ladies and ladies in the palace entered the arena one after another, and it wasn't just Concubine Zheng and Concubine Hui who came today.

But it was obvious that the atmosphere between Concubine Zheng and Concubine Hui was a bit tense. They clearly came in together, but they didn't even make eye contact.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor to arrive, but the emperor still did not appear.

When everyone was anxiously waiting, Chen Sande, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, appeared at the gate of Hechang Garden, muttered a few words to the palace guards guarding the gate, and then came in, announcing: "Your Majesty has an order! "

Everyone knelt down.

Chen Sande continued: "Today's general election will be presided over by Concubine Hui and Concubine Gui. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I won't be here in person!"

Concubine Hui and Concubine Zheng also seemed surprised, they glanced at each other, and then thanked each other at the same time.

At this moment, Mother Tong came over suddenly and said to Lin Sizan, "My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

Lin Siran was startled, the emperor wanted to see her alone at this time?Why?
Filled with doubts and fear, Lin Sizan quietly followed Nanny Tong out of the arena, and when she left Hechang Garden, she saw Chen Sande.

"Miss Lin, come with our family!" Chen Sande said indifferently.

Lin Siran had no choice but to follow him.

Chen Sande took her to Zichen Palace, but the emperor was not there, so Chen Sande asked her to go in and wait.

When the emperor came, he was wearing a black dragon robe, which looked much more dignified than the old man in casual clothes that night.

Lin Siran hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor went straight past Lin Siran, sat down on the dragon chair, and then raised his hand, saying, "Be flat."

After Lin Siran thanked her, she got up and felt that the atmosphere was tense and oppressive, making her even breathe carefully, because she could feel that the gaze above her head made her feel pressured.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then sighed suddenly, and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you alone?"

Lin Siran shook his head and said, "I don't know, my servant!"

"Last night, the Compassion Ning Palace was flooded, did you know?" the emperor asked again.

Lin Siran nodded and said, "I heard."

The emperor was silent for a while, staring at Lin Sizan, and said, "Qin Tianjian had expected this fire long ago."

Lin Siran frowned slightly, deeply puzzled, and asked, "Then why didn't His Majesty take measures sooner?"

"If no measures were taken, the Compassionate Ning Palace would have been burned down," said the emperor.

Lin Siran nodded and said, "That's really lucky."

"Yes, luckily... But Qin Tianjian said that the fire in the Palace of Compassion and Ning was an early warning from the heavens." The emperor's face became very strange, especially when he looked at Lin Siran, with a little bit of complexity and intolerance .

Lin Siran didn't understand what this look meant.

Heaven's warning?The fire in the Compassion Palace?

Could it be that what prediction Qin Tianjian made was related to himself?

Lin Siran was disturbed, but she didn't dare to show it. She just asked, "I don't understand what your majesty means. Is there any connection between the warning from heaven and your majesty's summoning of my daughter?"

The emperor nodded and said: "Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night and found a dark star emerging near the Ziwei star, which indicates that there will be a disaster star around me, and this disaster star will bring disaster to me and the Li family. The estimated disaster may even disrupt the government and overthrow the Li Dynasty."

Lin Siran gasped, she knew almost without thinking that she was the scourge that Qin Tianjian was referring to.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Siran knelt on the ground with a thump, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... My Majesty is just a little girl who doesn't know astrology, let alone what is meant by the so-called calamity."

"You are such a smart girl. I didn't want to pay attention to such nonsense at first, but how can I explain the fire last night?" The emperor's eyes dimmed slightly.

Lin Siran said: "Maybe...it's just a coincidence, even if there is a theory of a disaster star, it doesn't mean that the minister is the disaster star."

The emperor handed over a piece of paper to Chen Sande, and Chen Sande took it with great care, and then handed it to Lin Siran.

Lin Siran opened it and saw that there was a line written on it: the third quarter of the seventh day of the fifth month of Xinyou Year.

It should be someone's birth date.

Lin Siran frowned and asked, "This...what is this?"

The emperor said: "This is monitored by Qin Tian. The time when the disaster star came to the world is... your birthday."

Lin Siran shook his head quickly, and said: "No...Your Majesty, please be clear, my daughter's birthday is not this, and my daughter clearly remembers that my daughter was born on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in Xinyou year, and it was also recorded when she entered the palace. It's on the roster, and His Majesty will know when he checks it."

The emperor looked at Lin Siran and said nothing.

"On the roster, you and your younger sister Lin Qianyu were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, right?" the emperor asked.

Lin Siran took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Yes."

"The Lin family announced to the outside world that you and the second young lady of the Lin family are twin daughters of the same mother, so her birthday is your birthday. But in fact, you and her are not twin daughters." The emperor looked a little disappointed.

Lin Siran bit her lower lip lightly. She had known about this for a long time, and she also knew that her birthday was not the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The emperor looked at the sadness in Lin Ruran's eyes, and seemed to be unable to bear it, and said: "Your real birthday is the seventh day of May, which is the day when the disaster star came to the world as monitored by Qintian."

"Your Majesty, do you really believe the prediction of Qin Tianjian? Even if the Compassionate Palace is really leaking, it may be man-made, not a natural disaster." Lin Siran was absolutely unwilling to be killed like this.

She did not expect that an inexplicable fire would become her crime.

The emperor said: "I didn't believe it at first, so I specially sent people to strictly guard the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but... thunder and fire fell from the sky, and the plaque on the main hall of the Palace of Compassion and Ning was split. Stoned to death."

The emperor sighed sadly, and said, "My lady thinks, is this man-made or God's will?"

Lin Siki felt as if all the blood in his body had receded, his body was cold, and his head hummed, almost exploding.

For the first time she felt hopeless.

The emperor glanced at Chen Sande, and Chen Sande withdrew.

The emperor stepped down from the Dragon Throne, approached Lin Siran step by step, helped her up from the cold ground, and said, "You have read a lot of books, you are an extremely intelligent girl, and you are born with such beauty, like a piece of flawless jade. Before I decided to summon you, I was also very embarrassed."

Lin Siran's body trembled slightly, and when he raised his face, tears filled his eyes.

"Your Majesty, my servant... I never intended to harm the court or Your Majesty." Lin Siran was really unwilling, and was cast into hell for such an inexplicable reason.

The emperor nodded and said: "I believe that you have no malicious intentions, but... many things in this world will not happen if you don't have malicious intentions. The so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters are mostly like this. If people want to fight against the sky, they will inevitably be punished by the heavens. "

Lin Siran asked: "Your Majesty...are you going to execute the courtier's daughter for the rumor of disaster?"

At this time, Chen Sande walked into the hall with a jug of wine and two wine glasses, bowed slightly, his footsteps were so light that he could hardly hear the sound.
