Chapter 1723: The Sudden Evidence
Translator: Lonelytree
After hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the few nobles and ministers who had wanted to step out instantly shrank back.
Just as Lin Yuelan said, only they knew whether they had such a dream or not.
The crime of deceiving the sovereign was a great crime!
If they really had this dream, then it would be fine. Lin Yuelan’s tricks would be useless.
However, they had never had such a dream before. They wanted to stand out this time so that they could be witnesses and tell the Emperor what this dream was about.
However, the crime of deceiving the emperor frightened them so much that they retreated.
They hated Lin Yuelan, but they didn’t want to lose their lives and their entire family’s lives for a false dream that turned into a crime of lying to the emperor.
They were still rational and self-aware.
“Why? Is no one coming forward?” Seeing that no one stepped forward, Lin Yuelan curled her lips and asked with a curious and doubtful smile,” Didn’t you say that you had such a dream? Or could it be that there were so many people in the court, but no one had ever had such a dream? So, the previous memorials you sent to His Majesty were all lies?”
At this point, Lin Yuelan paused for a moment. Her sharp gaze swept across the people present. Then, she shouted in a sharp voice,” You guys are really impudent! You actually spread rumours in the Imperial Court and deceived the Emperor. What crime should you be punished for?”
Before she could finish her sentence, some of the officials couldn’t stand Lin Yuelan’s overwhelming aura. Their legs kept trembling, and their faces were pale. They even used their sleeves to wipe the cold sweat that was dripping
down their foreheads from time to time.
Seeing that no one in the court spoke, Emperor Yuwen Longyan’s expression turned cold. His sharp gaze swept across the few ministers and said sternly,” Princess Gu asked you a question. Why are you all mute? Aren’t you usually very good at speaking? You said that everyone dreamed that the princess of the Guguo was wearing a wedding dress and that it was an ominous omen. You also asked me to remove the hidden danger as soon as possible.”
Yuwen Longyan’s words added fuel to the fire, and the pale faces of the officials turned even paler.
That was because no one expected the Emperor to trust and support Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan as always!
However, they could never imagine that the Emperor, who was such a wise ruler, would be so fond of Lin Yuelan.
He was indifferent to the rumours that could affect the Yuwen family. Instead, he waited for Lin Yuelan to come back and deal with it herself.
At this moment, how could they not understand?
“Lord Wang, why are your legs shaking so fast?” Lin Yuelan looked at Lord Wang, whose legs were shaking non-stop. She then looked at him with a faint smile and said,” Could it be that Lord Wang is suffering from calcium deficiency and has become brittle? Is that why your legs are shaking non-stop?”
No one present understood what Lin Yuelan was talking about.
Lord Wang, who was named, did not have a gloating look in his eyes when he saw Lin Yuelan. Instead, he looked terrified and uneasy.
Previously, he could argue with Lin Yuelan because he was certain that Lin Yuelan would not have a good ending.
However, it was obvious that His Majesty was biased towards Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.
Lord Wangs entire body stiffened, and his expression became even more unnatural. He wanted to smile ingratiatingly, but his face seemed to have been nailed, and no matter how he pulled, it was useless.
Lord Wang hurriedly said, “Princess Guguo… I fell a few days ago, and now I’m feeling a little uncomfortable. That’s why my legs are shaking!’
Lin Yuelan seemed to understand and said,” Oh, I see. It seems that this princess almost wronged Lord Wang.”
Lord Wang smiled stiffly, but in the next second, his smile froze on his face.
Lin Yuelan continued,” But when you were chatting with this princess just now, why didn’t 1 see Lord Wangs legs shake uncomfortably?”
In an instant, everyone looked at Lord Wang with sympathy and pity.
Earlier, when Lord Wang knelt down to the princess of the Guguo, the disdain and joy in his eyes could be seen by anyone with eyes..
