Everyone knew that the Crown Prince was on the sa side as Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.
It was reasonable for the Crown Prince to protect Lin Yuelan when the situation was unclear.
It must be known that the Crown Prince was able to gain Lin Yuelan’s trust and help because when everyone had forced the Emperor to punish Lin Yuelan and revoke her title of ” Princess of Guguo”, the only person who stood on Lin Yuelan’s side and spoke up for her was the Crown Prince.
After that incident, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan got close to the Crown Prince.
The person that the rumours did not want to appear the most was probably His Highness the Crown Prince.
If the rumours were true, then the Crown Prince would beco collateral damage.
In that instant, Lord Wang felt pity for the Crown Prince. Not only had he lost his right-hand man, but he had also been betrayed and used.
Therefore, the Crown Prince must have thought of this and must be in a bad mood.
Lord Wang then turned to Yuwen Yanyu and said,” Your Highness, I have never heard of Princess Gu…
“Ti for Court!”
Lord Wang was about to tell the Crown Prince about the rumours outside happily. He even wanted to see Lin Yuelan’s expression when she heard the rumours.
However, before he could begin, an eunuch’s sharp voice shouted. Then, he shouted loudly,” The Emperor has arrived!”
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the emperor walked out from behind.
All the officials knelt down and shouted,” Long live the Emperor!’
Lin Yuelan didn’t kneel down. Instead, she bent her body slightly and chanted loudly,” Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
“Beloved ministers, rise!” the Emperor said.
Beside him, Eunuch Zhang shouted,” Report if you have anything to say. If not, withdraw!”
The person who presented the morial had yet to start presenting it when the Emperor seed to have just seen Lin Yuelan standing at the head of the crowd and Jiang Zhennan, who was slightly behind her. He imdiately asked curiously,” Eh, Princess Guguo, could it be that the sun has risen from the west? I actually saw you and Minister Jiang co to court together today.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the people who wanted to report imdiately stopped.
As important officials of the imperial court, most of them would be able to read people’s expressions.
The Emperor was very happy about Lin Yuelan’s sudden appearance in court. At the sa ti, he was also very surprised. Obviously, he did not take the rumours to heart. Otherwise, he would not have a good attitude towards soone who could possibly take over the Yuwen family’s empire. Therefore, instead of angering the Emperor or even the princess and the general, it was better to keep it for now and wait and see.
Lord Wangs expression changed.
It was impossible for the Emperor not to know about the rumours outside. However, he was so happy to see Lin Yuelan. This imdiately made his heart beat faster.
This seed to be different from what he expected.
Therefore, he stood at the side, shrinking his head and not saying a word.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Your Majesty, didn’t I hear that there have been many rumours about circulating in the capital recently? Moreover, I heard that these court officials seem to treat the rumours as true. Therefore, in order to not let myself be wronged, I can only co to court to prove my innocence. ”
When the others heard Lin Yuelan’s words, their faces darkened.
Earlier, Lin Yuelan had said that she hadn’t heard about the rumours outside. In the blink of an eye, she was going to prove her innocence because of the rumours outside.
Rumours, rumours, the reason why they were called rumours was that people spread them without any basis.
To prove her innocence, she had to find the person who spread the rumours first.
However, after the rumours spread, the source was the hardest to find.
They just didn’t know how this princess of Guguo would prove her innocence.
Lin Yuelan continued,” If we don’t prove our innocence, we’ll be slandered by others. Then, Brother Nan and I will be waiting for our heads to fall. If things have really co to this, then I, the princess of Guguo, would be wronged.”
Lin Yuelan was still smiling, as if she was chatting with her, saying things like,” Have you eaten?” or ” The weather is really good.”
However, everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
Because everyone knew that the princess of Guguo was petty and not to be trifled with.
If one offended her, one would end up in a miserable state.
A few examples from the past appeared in their minds.
Duke Zhenguo!s Public House, Consort Liu De, the Ninth Princess, and those so-called relatives of hers…
Thinking of this, many people suddenly beca flustered and uneasy.
Yuwen Longyan was also interested and said very cooperatively,” Oh, do you want to prove your innocence? Then how do you want to do that?”
This was also the first ti he had heard of it. Regarding rumours, one had to prove their innocence.
Lin Yuelan spread out her hands and said,” It’s very simple. Didn’t the rumours say that many people dread that I was getting married in the Empress’ wedding dress? It was said to be so kind of on. Since it’s the sa dream, then obviously, the scene in the dream should be the sa, right, Your Majesty?”
Yuwen Longyan nodded.” Yes, you have a point.”
Lin Yuelan continued,” Since it’s the sa dream, then it’s much easier.’
Everyone looked at Lin Yuelan suspiciously, not knowing what she ant. Yuwen Longyan couldn’t help but ask,” Girl, what do you an?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Didn’t they say that many people have the sa dream? Then let ask, how many of you have had such a dream?”
As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, all the officials looked at each other. So of them looked guilty.
Lin Yuelan looked at the silent crowd and asked again,” Then let request this. Please step forward, my lords who have dread of marrying in the
Empress’s wedding dress.”
Instantly, everyone ca to a realization.
They heard the rumours, but that was only hearsay.
However, no one really had such a dream.
Everyone looked at each other for a mont before quickly looking away.
After waiting for a while, it seed that no one had stepped forward. This ti, Lin Yuelan’s aura was more fierce.
She once again asked sternly, “Who among you have had this dream? Co forward for this princess. Otherwise, when this princess finds out, don’t bla this princess for being rude!”
Lin Yuelan had always referred to herself as ” .” However, when she used this princess,” she was taking this matter seriously.
As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, a few people wanted to step forward.
Anyway, this was sothing that could be argued away easily. Who could say whether sothing in a dream was real or fake?
However, before they could stand up, they were frightened by Lin Yuelan’s next words and shrank back.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes were fierce, but her expression was indifferent as she said, “Whether this dream is real or fake, you know best. By the way, isn’t there a cri for lying to the Emperor…”
“The cri of deceiving the sovereign!” Jiang Zhennan quickly added.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, it’s the cri of deceiving the sovereign. I believe that all the lords present should know better than , a countryside princess, what the punishnt for this cri is. Therefore, my lords, you have to think carefully and rember if you really have had such a dream!”
Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the few people who were about to take a step forward instantly shrank back..
