Chapter 1909: This Princess Is A Petty Person
However, it was impossible to take back what he had said.
Lin Yuelan didn’t expect him to respond either. Instead, she continued,” Could it be that your so-called major event refers to you working together with Qingfeng City’s governor, Zhou Anping, to meticulously plot to frame me so that you can implicate His Highness the Crown Prince? Or are you ignoring the interests of the Yuwen family and trading with the Black Cloud Kingdom to get rid of me, the princess of the Guguo?”
When she said this, Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong with an expression of blatant mockery and contempt.
She chuckled and said,” But I’m sorry! My personality is that if you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. However, the eldest grandson of the emperor instructed your subordinates to frame me. In order to prove my innocence, I could only use some means to restore the truth.”
At this point, she paused for a moment. Her gaze became even sharper as she said in a slightly sarcastic tone,” Or is it because I found out the truth and ruined your grand plan, causing you to be angry at me?”
Yuwen Xuhong was even more stunned when Lin Yuelan finished speaking.
He looked at Lin Yuelan in confusion and muttered,” You… You…” How did you know?
Lin Yuelan pointed at Prince Ping and the two assassins and said,” If it weren’t for you using some crazy methods time and time again, perhaps I wouldn’t have known that the person who framed me was you, the eldest grandson of the imperial family.”
The old Emperor was speechless. Keep pretending, keep pretending!
Yuwen Xuhong was speechless. ‘Lin Yuelan, this b * stard. How could she be so narrow-minded?’
He had only set her up a little, and she had already retaliated mercilessly.
How despicable!
Yuwen Xuhong roared at Lin Yuelan,” Aren’t you fine? Since I’m fine, why can’t you let me go? Do you have to force me to death?”
Everyone was speechless.
They were simply shocked.
The Emperor was speechless.
What kind of twisted logic was this?
Is harming people reasonable?
The Emperor was so angry that his face turned ashen. He shouted sternly,” Bastard! How can you be so reasonable when you’re hurting people!”
However, Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” Grandprince, are you mistaken? How did I force you to death? Was it when you bribed my subordinates to frame me? Was it when you colluded with the enemy and betrayed the Yuwen family’s interests? Was it me who instructed you? Hehe, what a joke!
“Also, it’s up to His Majesty to decide whether you die or not.”
When Yuwen Xuhong heard this, he was really angry. His face turned from white to green and then to purple, like a chameleon changing its colour back and forth.
“Or are you asking me to stand still and let you kill me?” Lin Yuelan’s words were especially sharp.” Hehe, let me tell you, I’m a petty person.”
The last sentence was not only to tell Yuwen Xuhong but also to tell everyone present that although she was a woman, she had always adhered to the principle of revenge, regardless of identity.
Everyone understood what Lin Yuelan meant.
For those in power, these words were definitely uncomfortable.
However, the Emperor was not very tolerant and suspicious of others. However, he had no doubts about Lin Yuelan. He also understood that Lin Yuelan would say such words.
The old Emperor snorted coldly.” Hmph, if you want others to not know, then don’t do it yourself! Yuwen Xuhong, you are the eldest grandson of the emperor, yet you can do such things. Can’t you allow others to launch a small counterattack?”
Everyone was speechless. Was this a small counterattack?
Probably not.
One had to know that this small counterattack might end up causing the Imperial Grandprince Manor, Prince Ping Manor, and Qingfeng City Governor Manor to be exterminated.
The Emperor looked coldly at Yuwen Xuhong, whose face was ashen, and asked sternly,” What else do you have to say?”
Yuwen Xuhong was currently in a paralyzed state. His entire body was weak, his face was pale, and his eyes were grey.
Towards the Emperor’s question, he acted as if he was at a loss and did not hear it.
He had lost!
He didn’t lose to Lin Yuelan or the Crown Prince but to his Imperial Grandfather.
That was because he had never expected that his grandfather would trust and tolerate Lin Yuelan so much. It was as firm as iron.
In their plans, as long as the Emperor had a trace of distrust and suspicion towards Lin Yuelan, their plans would be successful.
But now, the result was the exact opposite.
Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of jealousy and envy, as well as fear and dread.
Because he knew very well.
He could not afford the consequences of this failure. The price he had to pay was the blood-red stains that were closely related to him.
The Emperor saw Yuwen Xuhong’s ashen appearance and tightly furrowed his brows.
A moment later, he looked at another person, Zhou Anping.
Zhou Anping was drugged and brought into the palace. When he heard the Emperor’s questioning of Yuwen Xuhong in the royal study, his entire body was still weak. He did not have a single ounce of strength. He did not even have the strength to open his mouth.
“What’s going on?” Seeing Zhou Anping’s condition, the Emperor was somewhat puzzled.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know why this person suddenly became like this. His entire body is limp, and he can’t speak!” The reply to the Emperor was from the soldiers who were holding him.
The Emperor took a look and said to Lin Yuelan,” Girl, take a look at what’s going on.”
Lin Yuelan took a look and said,” He’s been poisoned by the Ten-Mile Muscle-Softening Fragrance.”
The Emperor pointed.” Then help him undo it!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and took out a small jade porcelain bottle from her sleeve. She opened the bottle cap and pointed it at Zhou Anping’s nose.
” Ah, what is this? It stinks!” The crown prince, who was sitting closer to Zhou Anping, immediately covered his nose and walked away in confusion.
The others also smelled a foul stench that soared into the sky and were instantly speechless.
Even the Emperor covered his nose and said,” Girl, what is this? It’s so smelly. Look at how much smoke you’ve caused in my royal study. Can I still use it as a study?”
Lin Yuelan said,” This bottle of mine contains the world’s most stinky bedbugs. However, it’s the antidote for the Ten Miles Tendon Softening Fragrance!”
As she said this, he took out a bamboo spray from her sleeve and sprayed it around the royal study. In an instant, the stench disappeared.
She spread her hands and said,” Old Emperor, there’s no more stench now, right?”
This surprised the Emperor.
He asked again,” What is this? How can you immediately eliminate such an extremely stinky smell? Also, the thing in your hand looks quite strange. What is it?”
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes speechlessly. She really wanted to ask,” Old Emperor, haven’t you forgotten about the current situation?”
