Chapter 1756: Verification!
Translator: Lonelytree
She could understand why the eldest grand prince had spread all kinds of rumours against her and Jiang Zhennan, but whether the eldest grand prince had really colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country was still questionable.
Although these three men in black did not look like people from this dynasty, they looked a little like people from the Black Cloud Kingdom. Coincidentally, the Crown Princess had just passed by when they were colluding. She felt that it was a little too much of a coincidence.
Therefore, when no one was paying attention, Lin Yuelan shot a strange glance at the Crown Princess Consort and frowned.
In short, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out at the moment.
She glanced at the Emperor, who was also frowning and chose not to say anything.
For this matter, it was still up to the Emperor to make his own decision and judgment. It was not good for her to overstep her boundaries.
The Emperor looked sternly at the Crown Princess Consort and then glanced at Yuwen Xuhong. He then said in a dignified manner,” There is not enough evidence to prove whether the eldest grandson of the Emperor is truly colluding with the enemy. We still need to investigate!’
Then, he looked at the Crown Prince and ordered,” Crown Prince, I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate. King Qi and King Yan will assist from the side!”
King Qi and King Yan were the Emperor’s two younger brothers, Yuwen Longqi and Yuwen Longyan.
“Your son will obey!’
“The imperial Brothers will do as you say!’
The three of them received their orders.
Then, Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Xuhong and ordered,” Before the truth is found out, the eldest grandprince is forbidden to take a step out of the manor. Unrelated people are forbidden to take a step into the manor!”
Yuwen Xuhongs face turned pale. He knelt down and shouted at Yuwen
Longyan,” Grandfather, your grandson is innocent. Please investigate!’
He lowered his head and looked flustered. His eyeballs kept rolling around. For a moment, he was frustrated, as if he had no idea what to do.
However, he could not show any of this.
Otherwise, he might really be dead.
Yuwen Longyan snorted coldly and said,” Yuwen Xuhong, we’ll find out after we find out the truth! Now, you should stay in the Imperial Grandprince Manor until the truth is found out!”
Yuwen Xuhong knew that the matter had already been decided and could only reply,” Yes!”
Yuwen Longyan glanced at Lin Yuelan, who remained silent, and said,” There’s still a month before the wedding of the princess of Guguo and the general. Leave all the wedding matters to the Ministry of Rites. We must make this wedding a lively one!”
The Minister of Rites stepped forward and knelt before the Emperor. “Yes,
Your Majesty!’
When they heard that the Emperor wanted to make the marriage between Princess Gu and the Great General lively and spectacular, most of the people’s eyelids twitched. They couldn’t help but think,” Your Majesty, did you really not do it on purpose?”
The Defender General wanted to marry the Princess of Guguo as a live-in husband. If this marriage became known to the world, then…
No one was able to say anything about this.
After all, the marriage between the Great General and the Princess of the Guguo was a matter of mutual consent.
Therefore, no one had the right to object.
Immediately, many people cupped their fists at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan and said,” Princess and Great General, congratulations.”
After the court session, the Emperor called a few ministers to the royal study, including Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.
However, he let Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan in first.
As soon as they entered the royal study, Yuwen Longyan asked directly,” Girl, you said that those rumours were spread by Hong ‘er?”
Lin Yuelan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “That’s right! Just as Zhou Wenya said, the rumours in the capital were indeed spread by her. However, she only thought of spreading these rumours after hearing the rumours in the
Imperial Grand prince Manor.”
Yuwen Longyan frowned when he heard that. He stared at Lin Yuelan sharply and asked seriously,” Girl, you’re so smart. Can you tell me if what the Crown Princess Consort said was true?”
He was referring to the Crown Princess passing by a restaurant and coincidentally meeting a few people talking about the grandprince being a traitor.
He still had some doubts about the Crown Princess Consort’s words.
At that time, in the court, this might involve some family scandals, so the Emperor did not press on.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Old Emperor, what the Crown Princess Consort said might be half true and half false. However, I don’t think there’s such a coincidence.’
“So, do you think that the Crown Princess Consort is lying about this matter, or perhaps she has ill intentions?” The Emperor asked sternly.
Lin Yuelan shook her head again and said,” Old Emperor, this matter hasn’t been verified yet. I can’t be sure!”
They were all members of the royal family. As an outsider, she couldn’t say much.
Even if it involved the members of the royal family colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.
Yuwen Longyan looked at Lin Yuelan’s expression and knew that she was holding back. However, he couldn’t force her.
Soon, he ordered,” Girl, I’ll leave this matter to you and Minister Jiang to investigate. You must give me the truth!” He was referring to the eldest grandprince of the Emperor and the Crown Princess Consort.
Lin Yuelan wanted to roll her eyes, but she knew her limits.
She and Jiang Zhennan immediately replied,” Yes!”
Then, Lin Yuelan said with some dissatisfaction,” Old Emperor, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Brother Nan and I are getting married and are preparing for our wedding. You still want us, a bride-to-be and a groom-to-be, to help you investigate these matters.”
Seeing Lin Yuelan’s dissatisfied expression, Yuwen Longyan snorted,” Hmph, I did it on purpose. What can you do?”
Lin Yuelan was speechless.
Lin Yuelan spread out her hands and said with a smile,” Alright, I really don’t have any tricks up my sleeve. After all, you’re the emperor, the ruler of a country! ”
Yuwen Longyan smiled, then his expression turned serious again.” Girl, Minister Jiang, in the entire court, I only trust the two of you.. Therefore, you must give me a clear answer and the truth!”
