Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were drinking tea and chatting leisurely in the back garden. They were enjoying their time together.
He was completely unaware of what was happening in the Imperial Palace and the rumors that were rapidly spreading outside.
Lin Yuelan leaned against the back of the chair and said in a relaxed manner,”
I haven’t been so relaxed in a long time!”
Jiang Zhennan poured tea into Lin Yuelan’s cup and smiled.” You should have a good rest!”
At this moment, the butler came over and interrupted their leisure.
“General, Young Madam, Eunuch Zhang is here!”
“What happened? Lin Yuelan frowned and asked.
Why would the old emperor suddenly send Eunuch Zhang over?
If there were nothing urgent, he would not send Eunuch Zhang over.
The butler shook his head and said, “Young Madam, Eunuch Zhang is very anxious!
Jiang Zhennan was also confused.”Did something happen to His Majesty?” “Yes, we’ll go over now! ‘Lin Yuelan said.
After that, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan returned to the living room.
When Eunuch Zhang saw the two of them, his expression became even more anxious. He took two or three steps forward and said anxiously, “Princess, General, something has happened!”
Just as he was about to say something, the butler beside him stopped him.
The butler tactfully said, “This old servant will take his leave!” “After saying that, he left in a hurry.
As soon as the butler left, Jiang Zhennan asked anxiously, “Eunuch Zhang, could it be that something happened to His Majesty?” Eunuch Zhang shook his head.” It’s not His Majesty. It’s the Ninth Princess!” Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan frowned at the same time.
Although Yuwen Ling had suffered a heavy blow in the General’s Estate, she was still fine. Could it be that she had fallen seriously ill after returning to the Imperial Palace?
“What happened to the Ninth Princess? ” Lin Yuelan asked immediately.
“The Ninth Princess was raped! “Eunuch Zhang said anxiously.
“What?” “The two of them were shocked.
Lin Yuelan asked suspiciously,” Eunuch Zhang, the Ninth Princess was raped? How was this possible?”
“How is it impossible? ” Eunuch Zhang said,” And the palace maid who followed the Ninth Princess insisted that she was…Be… “Speaking of this, Eunuch Zhang stared at Jiang Zhennan with a puzzled gaze.
Lin Yuelan guessed a possibility when she saw Eunuch Zhangs expression.
“She said that the Ninth Princess was raped by Brother Nan, right? “Lin Yuelan guessed.
Eunuch Zhang was stunned when he heard Lin Yuelan’s guess. Then, he reacted and nodded,” Princess, your guess is correct! “As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Zhennan with suspicion.
Although he didn’t quite believe what the palace maid said, this involved the innocence of the royal princess. How could a palace maid have the guts to frame the general? The princess’s innocence was on him.
When Jiang Zhennan saw Eunuch Zhangs suspicious expression, a hint of anger immediately appeared on his handsome face. He said coldly to Eunuch Zhang,” How could I have done it? Don’t even think about pinning this matter on me!”
Eunuch Zhang immediately said with an embarrassed expression, “General, it’s not that I’m blaming you for this, but the Ninth Princess’ maid did say so. Because of this, Consort De is kneeling in the royal study, begging His Majesty to make a decision!”
The innocence of a royal princess was related to the royal family’s reputation. Naturally, Lin Yuelan was aware of the seriousness of this matter.
Her expression was serious and cold as she asked, “Eunuch Zhang, what’s going on? Please tell me everything!’
Eunuch Zhang shook his head and said,” I’m not too sure. I only knew that when the Emperor was reading the memorials in the royal study, Consort De suddenly burst into the royal study crying, saying that the Ninth Princess was raped by the General in the General’s manor and begged the Emperor to give justice!”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and added,”According to Consort De, the Ninth Princess came to the Defender General’s Mansion with a maid disguised as a man! His Majesty also sent someone to check on the situation of people entering and leaving the palace today. He found that the Ninth Princess had indeed entered and left. As for where she had been, it was rumored that she had only been to General Manor!”
Lin Yuelan frowned and said, “That’s right! The Ninth Princess had come to the General’s Mansion in the morning, but she had left soon after. Also, why was there a rumor about this?”
Eunuch Zhang said, “After that little palace maid talked about how the general raped the ninth princess, she felt that she didn’t protect her master well and died to atone for her sins! Also, the entire capital was talking about the General raping the Princess! “
