Chapter 1741: Knowing
Lin Yuelan continued,” During the two years of mining, whether it was manpower or money, I did everything myself. I didn’t use a single copper coin from the national treasury. On the contrary, the things that were mined went into the national treasury! All of you should know that, not to mention two mines, even a small mine requires a huge amount of resources, especially in terms of money.”
Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock. They were clearly shocked by Lin Yuelan’s generosity.
She had been authorized by the Emperor to mine two mines, but she had not used a single copper coin from the court. Instead, she had paid for them herself.
Even the imperial court would find it difficult to afford such a huge expenditure, let alone ordinary merchants.
So, how rich was this princess of Guguo?
After everyone saw the account book, the officials led by Prime Minister Chen apologized to Lin Yuelan,” Princess Guguo, I’m ashamed to suspect that the Princess and the Great General have ulterior motives. I hereby apologize to the princess! ”
Even Prime Minister Chen, the head of the officials, could put down his face and admit his mistake to Princess Gu and apologize.
Of course, the officials below also admitted their mistakes and apologized. However, Zhou Wenya and Yuwen Xuhong were the only ones who looked unhappy.
Lin Yuelan didn’t try to be pretentious. After proving her innocence and clearing her name, she accepted their apology.
After that, Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong and asked with a faint smile,”
Imperial grandprince, where did you hear that I privately mined the mines?”
Yuwen Xuhongs face stiffened, and he smiled unnaturally.” Princess, what are you talking about? I… 1 don’t quite understand! You also know that L..” I was bewitched by someone and can’t remember anything.
He wanted to find such an excuse, but this time, Lin Yuelan interrupted him.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Oh, Your Highness, you know very well.
Also, don’t say that you’ve been bewitched and don’t remember what you did before,” she said sharply. “Since I knew how to undo the bewitched status on you, 1 know what the effects are. So, Your Highness, if you are a man, own up to your mistakes!”
Lin Yuelan was obviously fierce when she said the last sentence.
Yuwen Xuhongs eyes were filled with panic as his expression changed.
Then, he took a deep breath and pointed at Zhou Wenya. He said angrily,” This b * tch told me everything. She told me that you and the Great General found two mines two years ago, but not only did you hide it, you even mined it privately. It’s obvious that you have great ambitions.” When the officials heard this, they were obviously shocked.
So, was this the inside story?
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” This princess guessed so too! After all, other than Xiao Jingrui of the Black Clouds Kingdom, only the Great General, His Majesty, and I know about the two mines. As for the miners, they would never spread such rumours.”
Hearing this, Yuwen Xuhong suddenly reacted and said,” Princess, do you mean that this slut knew about the mine because the prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom told her? Then, she used me to deal with you. Is that what you mean?” He pointed at Zhou Wenya, looking embarrassed, annoyed, and angry.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and then nodded. She said,” You’re right and wrong.” She looked at Zhou Wenya and said sharply,” The Black Clouds
Kingdom wants to use this matter to sow discord between us and His Majesty. They want to use this to make His Majesty hate us. If things go as they expected, it won’t be as simple as a grudge between us and His Majesty. It will be a crime of treason. As long as His Majesty believes that I and the Great General have the ambition to rebel, he will definitely use the crime of rebellion to eliminate us. Ministers, think about it. Why would the Emperor of the Black Clouds Kingdom do this?”
Duke Guo said loudly,” What else could it be? Isn’t it because they’ve been coveting our Longyan Dynasty? In recent years, they have been well-behaved and have not invaded an inch of our land. Isn’t it because of the Great General guarding the border? Therefore, if they wanted to invade our dynasty, the
Great General would obviously become a tiger blocking their way. Since the Black Clouds Kingdom can’t do anything to the Great General and can’t get rid of him, they want to instigate our Imperial Court to personally deal with the Great General.’
At this point, Duke Guo paused and looked at his colleagues around him. He continued,” The only way to get rid of the General is to frame him with treason!”
The moment the word “treason” came out, everyone was instantly shocked.
In an instant, they all reacted.
This was the Black Clouds Kingdom’s method to get rid of the Great General.
What if they really succeeded?
In an instant, the foreheads of all the officials were drenched in cold sweat!
‘ Princess, you said that this is a conspiracy of the Black Clouds Kingdom.
However, the person who instigated us is Zhou Wenya, right?” Prime Minister Chen was very confused.” Zhou Wenya is a citizen of the Longyan Country.
Why would she help the Black Clouds Kingdom deal with our dynasty?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and shook her head.” Lord Chen, how can you not understand such a simple thing? Did you forget that Zhou Wenya was a criminal who was about to be executed three years ago? But why is she standing here now? Furthermore, she was wearing the face and identity of Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom. At that time, the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui, did not hesitate to pay a large amount of property to marry Princess Linglong into our dynasty. Even if Princess Linglong became a concubine, he still wanted Princess Linglong to stay for the purpose of marriage. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Everyone was speechless..
