A minister of the dynasty, a sister-in-law of the queen mother, the emperor's aunt who has been widowed for many years...
Tsk!
"Cui Shangshu, so romantic." Qian Baokun said with a strange yin and yang expression.
Several veterans in the court cursed in low voices.
"You... are simply insulting the gentlemen!"
"The scum of the court! Extremely shameless!!"
Although Cao Dejiang knew that Xiao Yan was prepared, he did not expect such a shocking thunder. Seeing the staggering appearance of Cui Lin, who was extremely arrogant in the past, he sneered.
"What a good Cui Shangshu, Grand Master Liang, you are also good."
Liang Guangyi's hands were shaking. He swallowed a mouthful of blood in his throat and looked at Cui Lin with hatred. He had never known that Cui Lin had done such a thing.
If he had known earlier, he would never have said a word, let alone add insult to injury and cause a lot of trouble.
Cui Lin met everyone's gaze and felt a chill running down his back. The weakness that he had suppressed after taking the medicine seemed to have surged up again.
His whole body was shaky, and he was able to stand firm by holding the table with one hand, but his eyes were extremely dark.
Xiao Yan looked at Cui Lin and Mrs. Xuan who looked like they were about to faint, and gave them some kind words.
"Master Xiao Cui, I feel bad about Cui Shangshu. As a son of a human being, please help your father and future stepmother."
"Although they are destined to share the same fate, in the palace, the official matter has not yet been completed. If they fainted together, the people who knew about it would know that their love is as deep as the sea, and those who didn't know would think that His Majesty did something to them."
Mr. Cui's face turned red with anger and he wanted to curse, but he couldn't say a word in response to Xiao Yan's ridicule.
He felt so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and get in. But facing Cui Lin, who was crumbling and pale, he could only grit his teeth and step forward silently. But anyone could see the look on his face when he supported Cui Lin. stiff.
Cui's parents-in-law looked extremely ugly when they looked at Cui Lin and Mrs. Xuan fiercely.
She was able to marry into the Cui family and was originally from a wealthy family. She had never suffered such humiliation. She felt that her face had been exposed by her father-in-law. She could almost imagine how many people would ridicule the Cui family after this palace gate.
The sons of the Cui family, the girls of the Cui family, and the aunts and aunts of the Cui family who married outside will all be dragged down by him, and even her daughter-in-law who married in will become the laughing stock of others.
Cui's wife-in-law clutched the handkerchief tightly, and she hated Cui Lin's father-in-law to death.
His mother-in-law had been dead for many years, so it would be okay for Cui Lin to remarry, and no one in the Cui family would stop him. But it was not good for him to find anyone. He had to find a widow, and it still had nothing to do with the royal family. The two of them were still living quietly in private. The correspondence was exposed in public.
He is simply...
I'm so confused! !
Prince Hatred looked at Cui Lin, whose face was pale as if struck by lightning, and at Liang Guangyi, whose face was ashen as a result of being blocked, and suddenly felt glad that he had not lost his mind and regretted it on the spot before.
If he was really confused at that time, he was afraid of ending up like Cui Lin, and he also suddenly thought of the word "opportunity" that Xiao Yan had kept secret when someone sent him a message.
He never understood before that the situation forced him to speak just now, but now that he thought about it carefully, the so-called "opportunity" actually came from Cui Lin.
It seems that Cui Lin framed Xiao Yan tonight, but what he did was actually always under Xiao Yan's control.
It was he who pushed Cui Lin to cause the abolition incident, and it was he who single-handedly caused the palace banquet to be targeted tonight. Not only did he use Cui Lin to stir up trouble in the Lu family again, but he also dragged Taishi Liang into the water, who had always avoided interfering. Emperor An was forced to keep all the ministers in the court.
There are also Yu Yanfeng and the never-shown Liu Tongen...
Even he might be part of Xiao Yan's plan.
Prince Hate had a feeling that he could just be the "first bird" as promised, but if he regretted it temporarily, thinking that Xiao Yan had been set up and lost his chance of winning, and turned to Cui Lin and the others, I'm afraid Xiao Yan also held something that could kill him.
Thinking of this, Prince Hatred suddenly shuddered, while Marquis Wenxin glanced at Cui Lin with disgust, and directly focused his gaze on Xiao Yan's face.
"Prince Hate, you said that Xiao Yan is the son of the He family, do you have any evidence?"
Prince Hatred: "I have brought Xiao Jin'an and others back to the capital, and I have also captured all the people sent by the Liang family to Jiangnan that day. The He family and the Lu family have a blood feud. It is absolutely impossible for Xiao Yan to collude with the Lu family. That's why I It is concluded that what happened tonight was set up by Cui Shangshu and Liang Taishi."
"But Xiao Yan's face..." Wen Xinhou looked dazed.
Prince Hatred said: "I heard that there are some methods in the world. As long as you can pay the price and withstand the inhuman torture, you can peel off your original face and put on a new one. The face will be completely different from the past."
"Director Xiao, do you think this is the case for you?"
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and then said softly: "It's just some trivial tricks in the world. My face is too eye-catching. I'm afraid I will die as soon as I enter the capital."
He paused and looked at Prince Hatred:
"But I thought I could hide it from everyone, but I never thought that the prince would find out."
Prince Hatred seemed to be unfamiliar with him and shook his head: "It's not my fault. If Grand Master Liang hadn't sent someone to Jiangnan, I wouldn't have noticed it by chance..."
"That's right." Xiao Yanwei sighed: "When the He family was convicted, it was Taishi Liang and Lu Chongyuan who took the lead. They used the family's mutual familiarity and unyielding injustice to the entire He family, which made it difficult for my grandfather and others to speak. Now Taishi Liang It’s not surprising that he could detect my identity and use it to plot his plans.”
Liang Guangyi couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard that Xiao Yan admitted his identity so easily.
When he finished his last words, both Emperor An and the courtiers in the palace looked at him with a look of sudden realization.
Liang Guangyi lost his voice and said: "I didn't know your identity before tonight!"
Xiao Yan laughed and neither spoke nor refuted, but the look on his face made Liang Guangyi feel that he had said everything.
For the first time, Liang Guangyi experienced the feeling of being speechless.
If he hadn't spoken before to "add insult to injury", hadn't thought of helping Cui Lin to put Xiao Yan to death, and hadn't followed Cui Lin's words to intimidate Emperor An, even if it was later revealed by Prince Hate that he sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the Xiao family, He could also have an excuse to argue that he didn't know what happened tonight.
Since he didn't set up a trap, he naturally didn't know Xiao Yan's identity, but now he had done everything, and the people sent to Jiangnan fell into the hands of Prince Hatred.
Xiao Yan is a bloodline of the He family. Nowadays, several major families have stepped on the bones of the He family to peel off the skin and suck blood. Anyone would think that he had known Xiao Yan's identity for a long time, so he joined forces with Cui Lin to eradicate the root cause. But Xiao Yan just said "injustice" It will bring harm to the whole He family", which pushed him to the forefront of the limelight.
No matter what he says now, others will think he is quibbling.
No matter how he explains it, they will still doubt his original intention of destroying the He family bloodline...
