Chapter 1739: Lying!
Translator: Lonelytree
Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong, who had regained consciousness, and her eyes turned cold. She shouted sternly,” Your Royal Highness, Zhou Wenya, this time, it’s time to talk about the matter of me and the Great General privately mining two mines and the rumors that have spread throughout the capital! ”
As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene turned stiff again.
So, after going around in circles for so long and exposing Xiao Jingyu’s true identity, it turned out that all of this had something to do with her?
Everyone had a vague guess.
As for whether or not that was the case, they believed that there would be an answer soon.
After Yuwen Xuhong heard Lin Yuelan’s words, his expression turned ugly for a moment.
How could he not understand Lin Yuelan’s words?
Lin Yuelan was planning to settle the score with him.
However, all of this was clearly not his own will.
He was just bewitched by the seduction technique that Zhou Wenya, that b * tch, used.
Could it be that the mistakes he caused during this period were placed on his head?
Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t help but had complaints about Lin Yuelan. He thought that Lin Yuelan was really petty. Things had already come to this, so why was she still fussing over him?
Yuwen Xuhong thought about it and said with a stiff expression,” Princess, did I say anything before? l… I don’t remember.”
At this point, he defended himself and continued,” You also know that 1 was bewitched by that b * tch Zhou Wenya. I don’t have any recollection of what I did.’
In order not to be punished by the Emperor and Princess Guguo, Yuwen Xuhong could only find such a lame excuse.
But in reality, he knew very well in his heart whether he still remembered these things.
However, when he said this, did he forget that the person who was very familiar with seduction techniques was the princess of Guguo, Lin Yuelan?
Therefore, he could find an excuse to deceive anyone, including himself, but he could not deceive Lin Yuelan.
However, Lin Yuelan did intend to settle the score with him.
Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong and asked seriously,” Your Highness, have you really forgotten that you came to His Majesty to complain about me and the Great General privately mining two mines?”
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something very important and said,” Oh, right. You even pointed at the nose of this princess and the Great General in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and said that the two of us used poison to control His Majesty. You shouldn’t have forgotten about this, right?”
Yuwen Xuhongs expression became even more stiff and embarrassed. He pulled his face, and panic and anger flashed in his eyes. However, he said with a blank expression, “This… I really forgot about that!” |Then, he added,” Before Zhou Wenya’s true face was exposed, I was at a loss. My mind was blank. I only knew that there was a voice calling out to me in my head and telling me to follow her instructions.”
At this point, he looked angrily at Zhou Wenya, who had fallen to the ground. He gritted his teeth and said,” This b * tch is really despicable and shameless. You actually used a charm technique to confuse me and make me do things I don’t want to do.’
His words were hinting to everyone that what he had done before was just bewitched by others and not what he wanted.
Hehe…
When Lin Yuelan heard this, she sneered in her heart. However, her expression was cold and indifferent. She didn’t deny or confirm Yuwen Xuhongs words.
Lin Yuelan merely asked in return,” Your Highness, do you really not remember?”
“Hehe, how could she not remember?” Zhou Wenya sat on the ground, one hand caressing the face that had been beaten up, while the other hand pointed at Yuwen Xuhong. She said with a hint of hatred and resentment,” I am a master at the Seduction Technique. How could I not know the exact effect? Yuwen Xuhong said he doesn’t remember anything, that’s bullshit!”
Yuwen Xuhongs expression changed drastically when he heard Zhou Wenya’s words. He shouted at Zhou Wenya,” You b * tch, shut up!”
However, Zhou Wenya seemed to be unwilling to give up and continued to
sneer.” Why? Are you angry from embarrassment? [ wonder which man swore to me that no matter how I changed, he would love me forever. Who said that he only loved me for my heart and not my appearance? Hmph, now that he found out that Princess Linglong is actually a different person, he’s starting to call me a b * tch?”
As she said this, her sharp eyes swept across the surroundings. Then, she looked at Lin Yuelan’s gentle eyes and Jiang Zhennan. There was an indescribable anger and unwillingness in her eyes.
She said loudly,” You men are all heartless!”
“Zhou Wenya!” Yuwen Xuhong shouted at Zhou Wenya,” Don’t go overboard!” Zhou Wenya sneered.” Hehe, I went overboard?! You…”
“Enough!” Lin Yuelan shouted,” I don’t want to hear about your personal grudges. ”
Lin Yuelan looked at Yuwen Xuhong once again and asked seriously,” Your Highness, do you really not remember the matter of suing me and the Great General?”
Yuwen Xuhong met Lin Yuelan’s sharp eyes and suddenly felt guilty. However, he still nodded and said,” Yes! I don’t even remember!”
Zhou Wenya laughed coldly again, but she didn’t say anything else.
Those who could use bewitching techniques must have a good understanding of bewitching techniques. Therefore, even if the effect of the seduction technique was removed, they would not forget what they had done during that period. Instead, it was clearly recorded in their minds after that.
Therefore, Yuwen Xuhong repeatedly denied that he remembered that matter. That was simply lying and deceiving.
As for why Yuwen Xuhong was so eager to deny it… It had to do with bewitching techniques.
Bewitching techniques were said to bewitch people, but in reality, it was to draw out the evil side in people.
In other words, Yuwen Xuhong’s actions during the bewitching spell were actually his own intention. It was just that someone was guiding him to do this and that.
Therefore, Yuwen Xuhong strongly denied what he had done during the bewitching spell. In fact, it was just a guilty conscience,
Hearing Yuwen Xuhongs answer, Lin Yuelan could not help but feel a little disappointed.
She had already given him two chances, but he had given up on them.
Then she could only apologize to the emperor.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes turned sharp as she said to Yuwen Xuhong with a serious expression,” Your Highness, you might not know this but the actions of the person who has been hit by the Bewitching Art will be deeply rooted in their memories even after the Bewitching Art is removed! ”
Yuwen Xuhong wasn’t the only one who had a drastic change in expression when Lin Yuelan finished speaking. The civil and military officials present, even the crown prince and the emperor, had a drastic change in expression.
What did she mean by that?
It wasn’t what they had imagined, was it?
Emperor Yuwen Longyan asked directly,” Girl, what do you mean? Are you saying that Hong ‘er lied?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Old Emperor, Your Highness, I don’t know if the imperial grandprince is lying or not. However, since Brother Nan and I have already brought up the matter of mining two mines, let’s settle it today. In the future, if someone doesn’t know what’s going on and uses our private mining as an excuse to sue us for rebellion and usurping the throne, it won’t be good.”
Lin Yuelan’s words contained a lot of information.
The officials looked at each other in confusion.
Then, with Prime Minister Chen as the representative, he stepped forward and asked sharply,” Princess, do you mean that you and the Great General are really privately mining the mine?”
Lin Yuelan nodded at first, then shook her head. Just as everyone was puzzled, she said,” Lord Chen, I and the general are mining two mines, aA gold mine and an iron mine!”
Hearing this answer, the officials stared at Lin Yuelan with wide eyes, as if they found it unbelievable.
The crime of privately mining the mine was extremely serious, but Lin Yuelan seemed to be fearless. She was too arrogant and presumptuous!
‘ However, I’ve already reported this to His Majesty,” Lin Yuelan continued,”
We’ve obtained His Majesty’s permission to mine the mines in our own name. In fact, the gold and iron that we’ve smelted have already belonged to the national treasury and the army. Brother Nan and 1 have never embezzled a
single cent! ”
Everyone was speechless..
