Chapter 1838: Exposing Linyue Pavilion
As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, everyone could feel the terrifying aura emanating from her body, especially Qiuxiang, who was kneeling on the ground. Her entire body trembled. It was obvious that she was shocked by her aura.
The Emperor asked again, “Girl, do you think this matter should be handed over to you or not?”
The Crown Prince and the Empress were confused. It was fine if the Emperor decided everything. Why did he ask Lin Yuelan about it?
They believed in Lin Yuelan.
Ever since she appeared in the capital, everything she did was shocking and shook the entire capital. However, at the same time, she was a person who distinguished between gratitude and hatred, public and private.
Even if this matter involved Lin Yue Pavilion, if Lin Yuelan was to investigate, she would definitely give them the truth and a perfect answer!
However, this matter indeed involved Lin Yuelan’s friendship with Lin Jinlan, the head of the Lin Yue Pavilion. If she were to investigate, it would indeed cause gossip.
If this were really done by Lin Yue Pavilion, then their crime would definitely be the extermination of their family. To the commoners, Lin Yuelan, the princess of Guguo, would be too cold and heartless. She was so heartless even to her old friends. Combining that with Lin Yuelan’s actions towards the Lin family and the Duke’s estate would leave a bad impression of Lin Yuelan as a selfish, heartless, and vicious woman.
However, if this matter was found to have nothing to do with Lin Yue Pavilion or to be related to the relevant personnel of Lin Yue Pavilion, everyone might guess that Princess Gu was in the middle to absolve them of their crimes, bending the law for personal gain, letting the real sinners go, and so on.
The entire imperial court did not want Lin Yuelan to get involved. They needed to avoid arousing suspicion in this case.
However, they were puzzled by the Emperor’s attitude.
Not to mention the Crown Prince and Empress, even the eldest grandson and the two princes were puzzled by the Emperor’s unclear attitude.
The three of them looked at each other. Prince Ping then stood up and said,” Emperor, it is indeed inappropriate to hand this matter over to Princess Guguo to investigate. Princess Gu and the current head of Lin Yue Pavilion have a good relationship. This…”
Like the eldest grandson, he didn’t say it out loud. However, Lin Yuelan was indeed a suspect, so she had to avoid suspicion.
At this moment, Lin Yuelan stood up and looked at the two princes with a faint smile. She asked sharply,” So, princes, do you not believe in my character? Would you believe that this princess would bend the law for personal gain because of my friendship?”
The Prince Gong and the Prince Ping were unhappy that they had been named. They felt that Lin Yuelan was disrespecting them. However, it was obvious that the Princess was of a higher status than them. She was even more honourable than them. Therefore, they couldn’t vent their dissatisfaction.
Prince Ping said,” Princess, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I think that you should avoid suspicion and not arouse suspicion, right? Besides,” he looked at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s gowns that had yet to be changed and continued,” the princess has just married the general. It’s not convenient for you to participate in these matters, isn’t it? Also, the Great General is already old and needs an heir to inherit the position of General. You should give birth to a son as soon as possible!”
He was just short of saying that they should stay in the house and make babies. Don’t get involved in these matters.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Prince Ping is right.”
Everyone was speechless.
He was surprised that Lin Yuelan agreed so straightforwardly!
Shouldn’t she try to explain herself?
” Perhaps Prince Ping doesn’t know that I’m involved in this matter already.” Lin Yuelan seemed to have dropped a bomb as she continued,” I’m going to clean up my business!”
The words shocked everyone present. Even Jiang Zhennan was slightly surprised.
That was because he was surprised that Lin Yuelan had revealed herself at this moment.
When Prince Ping heard this, he was shocked. He asked in surprise,” You… What did you say?” Did he hear wrongly?
Was Lin Yue Pavilion Lin Yuelan’s property?
How was this possible?
Although he didn’t quite believe what Lin Yuelan said, he couldn’t hide the calmness in his heart.
