Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

At the same time.

In the backyard of the Prince Lin's Mansion.

Lin Jiangnian was lying on the rocking chair as usual, half-closed his eyes, and looked lazy.

Under the eaves of the side, Jinxiu, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, don't you want to go and see?"

"What to see?" Lin Jiangnian said lazily.

"Of course, I'm going to see the interrogation of Chen Hongsheng in the government office!"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian, her handsome face full of confusion.

Today is the day when Chen Hongsheng is interrogated in the government office. The news has long been spread, causing a stir among the people of the city. Even though Jinxiu was in the Prince Lin's Mansion, she could hear the heated discussions coming from outside the palace from time to time.

Countless people gathered in the government office now and then, wanting to witness this wonderful drama. However, Lin Jiangnian, the initiator of the matter, who planned all these things, stayed at home as if he had nothing to do with it, as if he didn't care about it at all?

This made Jinxiu somewhat puzzled and puzzled!

"The government is interrogating Chen Hongsheng. It's such an important matter. Your Highness, don't you plan to go and take a look?"

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Jiangnian still looked lazy and uninterested: "What's so interesting about the interrogation?"

Jinxiu looked stunned and blinked.

"Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"What if something unexpected happens?"

Jinxiu couldn't help but ask.

"Chen Hongsheng is not a simple person. He will never surrender easily. If Your Highness doesn't go and take a look, it will be bad if something unexpected happens!"

"The accidents that are supposed to happen will always happen."

Lin Jiangnian was lying on the rocking chair, still with a lazy look.

Jinxiu always felt that the tone of the prince was strange, as if there was something behind his words.

"Your Highness, have you expected something?"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian lying on the rocking chair. She was talented and quickly realized that the prince might be hiding something from her.

"No."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head, and saw Jinxiu staring at him with a faint gaze, obviously not believing it. He then grinned and waved at her, signaling her to come over.

But Jinxiu is not Xu Lan, so she will not be fooled by the prince.

She stood still and curled her lips: "The prince is hiding something from me!"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian so steady, Jinxiu quickly guessed that the prince might have a backup plan.

"How could it be?"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "It's just that I just want to be lazy and don't want to join in the fun."

Then he chuckled again: "Today there are too many people in the government office, and it's not suitable for me to come out at this time."

The case of Chen Hongsheng should have been handled by the Lin Wangfu. But Lin Jiangnian transferred the case to the government office, on the one hand, to divert the conflict, so as to strengthen the control of the palace over the government office.

On the other hand, Lin Jiangnian did not plan to come out in person.

At present, with Lin Jiangnian's status in the minds of the people of Linjiang City, if he does not come out, it will be more beneficial to his reputation.

Jinxiu frowned slightly, naturally a little unconvinced: "Your Highness, if you don't go, are you really not afraid of problems?"

"... What if Chen Hongsheng refuses to plead guilty?"

Lin Jiangnian said happily: "Miss Jinxiu, do you think he will plead guilty?"

Now, it was Jinxiu's turn to be stunned: "What, what do you mean?"

After a little thought, Jinxiu quickly realized something and slightly widened her eyes: "Could it be that Chen Hongsheng didn't intend to plead guilty from the beginning?!"

"What else?"

Lin Jiangnian smiled: "If he pleaded guilty, he would never be able to turn over again!"

Sheltering a death row prisoner and robbing the execution ground is tantamount to openly opposing the laws of the dynasty and tantamount to treason. If Chen Hongsheng pleaded guilty, his fate would be self-evident.

Jinxiu was stunned for a while, and finally reacted: "So, Your Highness, you expected this from the beginning... Chen Hongsheng will definitely refuse to plead guilty?!"

Yes, robbing the execution ground, this is a capital crime of treason!

Even if it was Chen Hongsheng, now in the public eye, if he pleaded guilty, it would be a dead end.

Therefore... he would never plead guilty!

"I guess so." Lin Jiangnian nodded, without denying.

After meeting Chen Hongsheng a few days ago, he had expected that Chen Hongsheng would not plead guilty.

"Then..."

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian in confusion: "Your Highness, you are not worried if he does not plead guilty?"

"Why should I worry?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, smiling: "The evidence is conclusive, so what if he does not plead guilty?"

"But..."

Jinxiu frowned, she always felt that things were not that simple.

As the head of the Chen family, Chen Hongsheng would not plead guilty, so he must have a backup plan. The Chen family and the various families in Linjiang City would not watch him fall into the hands of the Linwang Mansion, and would definitely stop him secretly.

In this way, would things really end so simply?

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Things are not as complicated as you think!"

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at Jinxiu's pretty face. When she showed her slightly serious expression at the moment, she had an indescribable attractive temperament.

Pleasing to the eye!

Want to bully!

"From the moment he entered the government office, his fate was doomed. If he confessed directly, he might be able to barely leave behind the image of a kind father who had to violate the laws of the dynasty to save his son..."

"What if he doesn't confess?"

Jinxiu asked.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Jinxiu and waved at her: "Come here, I'll tell you."

Jinxiu immediately showed a vigilant look on her face, not easily fooled.

However, after a while, curiosity surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, please speak quickly."

"Come here first!"

"Your Highness, just tell me directly."

"This is top secret information. I'm telling you secretly so that no one else can hear it."

Jinxiu: "..."

The backyard was empty, without a single person.

Only ghosts could hear it!

Knowing that His Highness was talking nonsense and his purpose was not pure. But Jinxiu was curious, and finally glared at His Highness with resentment, and then reluctantly moved to His Highness' side.

"Your Highness, what are you doing... Oh... Your Highness, what are you doing..."

Sure enough, just approaching His Highness, Jinxiu, who had not had time to be alert, was pulled into Lin Jiangnian's arms.

Jinxiu was unstable and fell into Lin Jiangnian's arms.

Soft jade in his arms, full of fragrance and tenderness.

Without giving Jinxiu a chance to struggle and resist, Lin Jiangnian took advantage of the situation to hug her slender waist, gently leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "Of course I'm whispering to you..."

Feeling the hot breath in her ear, Jinxiu's delicate body trembled, her body softened a little, and her face flushed with shame: "Your Highness, you, you... don't..."

Lin Jiangnian had already figured out the weaknesses of Jinxiu's body, and with a light move, he quickly grasped Jinxiu's vital points.

While "bullying" the girl's delicate body in his arms, Lin Jiangnian whispered in Jinxiu's ear: "Chen Hongsheng has to endure this crime even if he doesn't admit it. If he doesn't admit it, what awaits him will be ruin..."

"Anyway, he must be finished!"

At this time, Jinxiu couldn't hear what Lin Jiangnian was saying. Under the constant "bullying" of the prince's evil hands, she soon blushed and panted, and her beautiful eyes were ashamed and annoyed as she tried to stop it, but she was powerless.

It was more like a reluctant welcome!

"Your Highness, you, you... bad..."

Jinxiu gritted her teeth, ashamed and angry.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to take a step closer and conduct the next step of "training" on the girl whose body was gradually softening in his arms.

"Your Highness?!"

Outside the door, a quick and crisp voice broke the silence in the courtyard.

Jinxiu, who was originally blushing, suddenly woke up, struggled to get up from Lin Jiangnian's arms in a panic, quickly moved away from His Highness, and tidied her clothes. Her pretty face was all red, like a peach in early spring, so juicy that people couldn't help but want to taste it.

After tidying up her clothes, Jinxiu glared at His Highness with a resentful and angry look. Then, she looked nervously outside the courtyard.

Then... run away!

Jinxiu fled directly and disappeared soon.

Lin Jiangnian was a little angry. Why did an ignorant maid come to ruin his good thing at this time? !

He stood up with a calm face and came to the outside of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there stood a pretty maid, one of the maids in Lin Jiangnian's courtyard.

At this moment, the maid was a little nervous and excited, but soon, she saw the prince coming out with a dark face, and was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open in confusion.

Your Highness... why does he look unhappy?

Why does he look at me with a bit of hostility?

The maid became nervous.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Something?!"

Lin Jiangnian spoke in a bad mood, his face not so good... If this little maid can't say something serious today, he must teach her a lesson.

"Your Highness, outside, outside..."

The maid thought of something and lowered her head, anxiously saying, "Come, there are so many people!"

Hearing the maid's words, Lin Jiangnian realized something and narrowed his eyes: "Who are the people?"

"I don't know, but it seems that there are... people from the Zhou family and the Wu family, and there are many, many..."

"They are aggressive and say they want to see the prince..."

The maid's face was nervous: "Your Highness, you, you go and see."

Hearing the maid's words, Lin Jiangnian was not surprised and his eyes were calm.

What is coming will always come!

It's time to come!

...

Outside the Linwang Mansion, it was very lively.

The open space outside the Linwang Mansion was almost full of sedan chairs and carriages, gathering countless figures. All of these carriages and sedan chairs were luxuriously decorated and valuable.

And the figures who got off these carriages and sedan chairs were also either rich or noble, and they were all the most important figures in Linjiang City.

Today, they all gathered at the Lin Wang Mansion.

These big shots who were usually blocked from entering the palace by the Lin Wang Mansion entered the palace smoothly today under the guidance of the servants in the Lin Wang Mansion.

At this moment, many figures had already gathered in the reception hall of the palace.

"Brother Wu, what do you think?"

In the hall, many figures looked at the middle-aged man who was the leader of the crowd.

When the government interrogated Chen Hongsheng in public today, these people from the noble families united together and prepared to attack the Lin Wang Mansion! The power of the united families should not be underestimated, and even the Lin Wang Mansion could not ignore it completely.

They came today to force the palace!

But what everyone present did not expect was that when they came to the Lin Wang Mansion before, they were either turned away or perfunctorily delayed.

Many people could not even enter the gate of the Lin Wang Mansion.

But today, when they arrived at the Lin Wang Mansion, they found that the palace did not stop them, and even the servants of the palace respectfully welcomed them into the palace. And tell everyone that His Royal Highness will appear to meet with everyone and answer everyone's questions!

The people from various families present were stunned!

They were at a loss for a moment!

They came here with great momentum today in order to jointly take the opportunity to attack and force the Prince of Lin to give in.

Now, they have almost confirmed that something has happened to Prince Lin, and the Prince of Lin’s Mansion is leaderless... This is a golden opportunity!

A little Prince of Lin can’t stop them no matter what.

If the Prince of Lin can be forced to give in, he will no longer have any dignity in the future. In this way, the Prince of Lin’s Mansion can no longer point fingers at their family!

But now they have just arrived and are about to attack according to the plan. But suddenly they learned that the prince would show up to meet everyone later, which immediately disrupted their plan!

No, they were about to start scolding!

As a result, the attitude of the palace suddenly changed for the better?

... Why did the prince suddenly want to see them?

This made many people feel that something was unusual... Could it be that the prince had a premonition of something in advance?

Wu Xian looked deep and frowned slightly.

He was also a little unsure about the situation in the palace today, or did the prince have already predicted that they would come to the palace to force the emperor to abdicate today?

"Don't worry, everyone!"

Wu Xian glanced at everyone and said calmly: "We are here today for the overall situation. As a part of Linjiang City, we should do our best to work together to maintain the order and stability of Linjiang City."

"Since His Royal Highness is willing to see us today, this is naturally a welcome thing. Everyone, please be patient and see how His Royal Highness responds to us."

As a leader in the aristocratic family, Wu Xian has a lot of prestige. As soon as he opened his mouth, many people quieted down.

Although Wu Xian's words were not said explicitly, the meaning was very clear-first see what the prince of Lin is selling in the gourd, and then act according to the situation and make trouble!

Indeed, they came here today with many forces. Everyone present was either rich or noble, almost representing most of the powerful forces in Linjiang City.

Even the Lin Palace did not dare to offend easily!

This is also the reason why they dared to gather here today to force the emperor to abdicate!

Today, they came here for Chen Hongsheng's matter. In fact, the purpose is still for their own interests.

At this moment, everyone in the hall had different thoughts and whispered. Many big figures from various families and forces in Linjiang City gathered here, and even the courtyard outside the hall was full of figures, dozens of figures.

Just as everyone was talking, the gate of the courtyard that was originally open not far away was suddenly closed!

"Bang!"

With a few sounds, everyone present saw this scene, and many people's pupils shrank slightly and their expressions changed drastically.

"What's going on?"

"Who closed the door?!"

"What happened?!"

In an instant, everyone in the courtyard realized that something was wrong. Why did the door close for no reason? !

An ominous mood instantly rose from everyone's heart, just as the crowd was in an uproar.

"Everyone, please be patient!"

At this moment, a dull voice came.

Everyone looked at the direction, and a man in his thirties appeared in their sight. He was dressed in gray and black brocade clothes, with a sword on his waist, and he was filled with a cold and solemn aura.

He was standing in the courtyard, looking depressed, staring at everyone, with a neutral expression.

"General Wu? What's going on?"

Someone in the crowd spoke in surprise.

This man was Wu Yue!

He looked at the hall and the people in the courtyard calmly, and said indifferently.

"I am here to discuss important matters with you today by order of the prince!"

"Important matters are confidential and should not be leaked lightly. Please understand, stay calm, and don't be nervous!"
