Concubine Gaomen(55)

"Sue a false accusation against me?" Mrs. Gan looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the message, then lightly tapped the table with her finger, and then smiled: "Okay, you go and report it. I will be there immediately."

The little eunuch retreated in fear. Mrs. Gan then turned to look at the pensive Lin Yutong and said with a smile: "It seems that I really found a good son-in-law for you. This book was not written by you, nor by Xue Heng. It's just

It could have been prepared by my uncle. To be able to lead Chu Yuan by the nose and ask him to take advantage of the situation to attack the Gan family is not something that ordinary people can do." Even Chu Yuan's thoughts were figured out so accurately, which shows how good his mental skills are.

Can her daughter be able to live in another house? The uneasiness that was suppressed in her heart crept up again.

Lin Yutong first smiled with Yourong, and then saw the worry flashing in Gan's eyes. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew what she was thinking, but she was really worried about it. But she couldn't explain it to her.

The more she listened, the more she felt that she had placed too much trust in Fourth Master. Lin Yutong smiled bitterly in her heart, and simply changed the subject and said, "Now ask Chu Yuan to put this matter out in the open, so that I won't criticize you later."

It was just to avenge my own personal revenge that I framed an old minister from three dynasties. The human heart is the most forgetful. With a move of the upper and lower lips, right and wrong are instantly reversed." After saying that, he quickly told Aunt He, "Bring me an umbrella and go now."

Not only did they sue Mr. Gan, they also sued themselves. This was like hunting rabbits, and by the way, they also wanted to get themselves covered in mud.

Mrs. Gan then stood up and gathered her thoughts, "Let's go then." After saying that, he looked back at Lin Yutong, "But you girl and my uncle are brave enough. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to suppress Chu Yuan in the court?"

"

"If it really can't be suppressed..." Lin Yutong looked at Gan's expression and became serious, "If it really can't be suppressed, then we have to find another way out." The previous plan to replace it will not work at all. This

Prove that you are not that piece of material at all.

Mr. Gan immediately understood what Lin Yutong meant, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's right...good!"

It was raining heavily, and as soon as I left the main hall, I was greeted by the cool and moist wind blowing from the pavement.

Lin Yutong followed behind Gan, Sanxi held an umbrella on one side, and several palace maids helped Lin Yutong hold up her skirt. The boots on her feet were on the wet ground, and Lin Yutong had the urge to run away. But Gan was so

He walked slowly and leisurely. He was not going to defend himself at all. He was just going to a banquet.

In front of the main hall, there are tall and long corridor steps. The mother and daughter came in such a long way, dressed in big clothes.

The eunuch who was doing the roll call saw them from a distance and shouted: "Concubine Chen has arrived - Princess Yunyin has arrived -" the tune was long and loud, and the people inside turned around one by one following the long tune.

, looking towards the outside of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, two stunning beauties in palace clothes came in. This made everyone's eyes light up. Despite Gan's reputation, not many people have actually seen her true appearance, especially men, who basically have no chance.

Lin Yutong has always found it troublesome to meet the female family members of the house. Her appearance is always half-hidden. Only today, at the insistence of Aunt He, her whole face is revealed. The mother and daughter have real looks.

They are 60% to 70% similar. They don’t look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters. The one walking in front is older, but he also looks like he is in his twenties. He is wearing a black palace dress, which matches his appearance.

Her whole person is extremely majestic. And the person walking behind is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Compared with the person in front, she is a little less gentle and a little more sassy, ​​especially every move she makes.

In between, it is in line with etiquette, but with a different kind of freedom and ease.

Everyone in the hall could not hide their astonishment, but only Lin Changgen, who was standing among the honorable guests, had the most complex expression. Where is his wife and daughter now? He smiled bitterly. After so many years, she is still the same as before.

She's just as beautiful. She hasn't changed at all! I wanted to take another look, but I was afraid that people would think too much if they noticed the clues. I quickly lowered my head and didn't dare to look over there again.

Emperor Yongkang sat at the top, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up. His wife's daughter's face was a very honorable thing for him. Especially in this court, under the gaze of everyone, he was so overwhelmed.

Living somewhere is even more valuable.

Seeing the mother and daughter salute, he stood up, walked down the imperial steps, and helped them up personally, "Get up, get up..."

This was also the first time that Chu Yuan saw Gan's appearance clearly. In the past, even if there were palace banquets, he rarely saw her attending. Even if he did, he would not pay attention to the appearance of a woman hiding in the corner. Now he saw her

, my heart skipped a beat. Two words came to mind - disaster!

That’s right! This is a disaster!

He frowned before retracting his thoughts. Whether it was a disaster or not was no longer his responsibility. Now he wanted to bite the mother and daughter. The more the emperor wanted to protect them, the heavier the bargaining chip in his hand became. The emperor had no choice but to

No compromise was made, and the Chu family was saved. As long as Duke Jin was there, the Chu family's life would not be much worse. Jin Cheng'an helped a little and moved people to the north, not to mention that someone would take revenge.

He made a calculation in his mind before looking at Emperor Yongkang seriously: "Your Majesty, please make a clear decision."

Emperor Yongkang's face stiffened for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Gan, then turned around and went up the imperial steps, sitting back on the dragon chair: "Concubine Chen, Prime Minister Chu is suing you for making a false accusation, what do you say?"

Gan nodded slightly towards Emperor Yongkang, then glanced at Chu Yuan, then pointed at Xue Heng who was kneeling aside and said: "You mean, I ordered this person to beat the Dengwen drum and falsely accuse you, right?"

Chu Yuan frowned slightly. He said it was a false accusation, but he did not say that Xue Heng was ordered by her. But if the person who complained had nothing to do with the Gan family, this logic did not make sense. His heart suddenly lifted.

He got up, this Gan family is really not a good person. Therefore, he glanced back and looked at Lin Yutong, "Your Majesty is in the palace, I dare not encourage you." In other words, I can't have you to encourage me.

Xue Heng’s evidence, but it’s not like no one outside the palace can help you with this matter.

Everyone understood what this meant and couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong stood there, as if he didn't understand anything. Xue Heng and Fang Zhao were doubtful, and they felt that Prime Minister Chu's guess should be close.

The truth came out. Because it was indeed the princess who was looking for them. Xue Heng could still maintain his composure, but Fang Zhao almost failed.

Marquis Jing'an had been paying attention to Fang Zhao. At this moment, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Yutong thoughtfully. Guo Changhe, who stepped aside, thought to himself. Sure enough, he was not sure at this moment. This person from before

The princess would come to find her, whether it was the emperor's wish, her own wish, or Concubine Chen's wish.

Gan didn't care what others thought, and just looked at Chu Yuan: "Prime Minister Chu, who is he talking about? Please point it out in this hall, in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court. Do you doubt it?

Whoever is working for me outside the palace, incite this person to file a complaint against you and frame you."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This mother and daughter are really interesting. The daughter was talked about in a positive way. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old and could remain calm. This Gan family was even more sharp when he came up and almost didn't say it clearly.

, don’t make insinuations here, who you want to say, you can speak openly and clearly, there is no need to be so secretive. Mother and daughter have become an upright husband, and Chu Yuan has become a villain.

This is how Chu Yuan's face can look so good. His expression suddenly became even more gloomy and he sneered: "I have been in power for forty years and have gone through three dynasties. I am loyal to the royal family. You are the noble concubine, and Princess Yunyin is the emperor's concubine...

..." As he said that, he raised his hand and said, "Since Concubine Chen said this, I can only feel sorry for it. What I am referring to is Princess Yunyin. I suspect that it was Princess Yunyin who instigated Xue

Heng!"

Looking at the finger pointed by Chu Yuan, Lin Yutong raised his head and smiled faintly.

Emperor Yongkang's eyes darkened for a moment, and he asked with a weak look: "My son...Yun Yin! What did you say?"

Lin Yutong deeply felt that Emperor Yongkang's acting skills were excellent, and he paid special attention to details regardless of the location or occasion. Even at this time, he still did not forget to act, wanting everyone to think that he was his biological child. With this sound,

My son, she felt not only goosebumps on her body, but also on the seams between her bones, which made her want to shiver. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and called out "Your Majesty". He could call

She called him 'my son' without any pressure, but she couldn't really call him 'father'. She bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty! I have something unclear and I want to ask Prime Minister Chu."

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "It's a confrontation! Of course it's mutual. If you want to ask, just ask!" He also wanted to see how capable this daughter of the Gan family was. In the main hall, the situation was changing rapidly. Therefore, it was impossible to say something like this.

It had been rehearsed in advance. It was impossible for anyone to teach her. It all depends on each person's adaptability and ability. The right performance in the hall can best reveal a person's ability and character.

Lin Yutong nodded, looked at Chu Yuan, and asked: "Whether this princess instigated people to make false accusations, this is not the point. The key point is the word 'false accusation'! What is false accusation? The act of fabricating facts, forging evidence, reporting, and framing others.

, is called a false accusation. So..." she said, pointing to the folding book still held in Chu Yuan's hand, "Are these fabricated facts? Have you been interrogated? The evidence, including witness and physical evidence,

Have you seen it all? Have you determined that it is a false accusation? If so, then let’s talk about whether this person was instigated by me.”

Needless to say, everyone understands the rest. If the content in this brochure is not a false accusation, then the remaining problems are not a problem. Even if it is confirmed that it is related to Princess Kumogakure, but so what? This is called exposing! Not only is there no fault,

On the contrary, it works!

Everyone looked at Lin Yutong with a different look. This princess didn't just have a face and no brains, nor was she young and inexperienced. On the contrary, she was shrewd and sharp-tongued, which was rare among women. Most people,

It's a habit to defend yourself first. When people accuse you of being guilty, it's a conditioned reflex to defend yourself first to clear away the suspicion. But she didn't argue and pointed to the crux of the problem.

.

When Lin Yutong saw Chu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrinking, she smiled inwardly, thinking that she was easy to bully. She turned around and looked at Xue Heng on the ground, and then said to Emperor Yongkang, "Your Majesty, although Xue Heng is a commoner,

But after the Dengwen drum was beaten and the papers were presented, it was natural that his case should be heard first. He was the plaintiff. After that, it was proved that what he was accused of was a false accusation. As the victim, Prime Minister Chu had the right to hold the false accuser accountable. Now

, but because of the so-called veterans of the three dynasties, they did not investigate or prosecute, but instead pursued the responsibility of the plaintiff. What would your Majesty and your lords do if Emperor Taizu knew about it? What was the significance of setting up the Dengwen Drum in the first place?

Where are you?" After saying that, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Yongkang, "All living beings in this world are His Majesty's subjects. Why are there any distinctions between them?"

Everyone took a breath, he was so sharp-tongued. Chu Yuan relied on the veteran ministers of the three dynasties to rely on his old age to sell his old age. This person is waiting for him here. These words are tenable regardless of whether they are logical or legal.

It makes no sense for someone to file a complaint. You don’t ask anything. Because the other party’s identity is used as the accuser, the accuser is asked about the crime of false accusation. This is also in the main hall. If any official below dares to ask the case like this, he will be labeled first.

He was labeled as a "faint official". Now it's the emperor's turn. If he doesn't ask Chu Yuan's crime first, wouldn't he become a "faint emperor"?

Chu Yuan couldn't help but trembled in his heart. He originally planned to drag the mother and daughter into the muddy water first, and then no matter what else, they would be covered in mud first. But now, these two people did not go ahead at all.

Jumping into the designed pit, finding another way out, and forcing him to the edge of the cliff. His heart suddenly beat fast, what should he do next? Do he have any other trump cards?

Turning his attention to Lin Yutong, his eyes lit up again. This Princess Yunyin is not only a princess, she is also a member of Duke Jin's Palace. If this matter has anything to do with Duke Jin's Palace, she and the Gan family must not

If you don't come forward to clean up the mess, it will not be good for Princess Yunyin if Duke Jin's mansion collapses.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately said to Emperor Yongkang: "It's my fault that I'm so angry and upset. Princess Yunyin is right. You should ask me about my guilt first."

After saying that, he put the folds in his hands and slowly knelt down.

This old fox! He is capable of bending and stretching. He is truly a character.

When Mrs. Gan saw Laifu put the fold away, he said: "Your Majesty, since this matter involves my concubine and Yun Yin, please allow us, mother and daughter, to stay and observe."

Emperor Yongkang took the note handed over by Lai Fu and nodded, "It's accurate!" He then ordered Lai Fu, "Give me a seat!"

Since it is not certain that it is a false accusation, it has nothing to do with Concubine Chen and Princess Yunyin. Laifu cleverly moved two chairs and invited these two ancestors to sit down.

Emperor Yongkang opened the fold again and said, "Other crimes will be handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for trial later. Now, I only ask about the crimes of collaborating with the enemy and treason listed in this fold." He said, raising his hand to rub his sunburn.

Looking further down, it seemed that the minister standing below was looking a little blurry. He closed his eyes and handed the fold to the prince Jin Yunshun, who was standing aside and had no sense of existence. "I... am very sad.

Just ask."

Lin Yutong looked at Emperor Yongkang's face. The light in the hall could not be said to be bright. She could not clearly see the complexion on his face, but just from his expression, no matter how well he concealed it, she could tell that he was really uncomfortable.
