Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

Lin Chongtan took his outer robe and put it on slowly, he always likes to dress neatly when doing this.As soon as he put on the outer robe, he became the noble son of Yuanzhi Lilan again.

Not only did he straighten his robes, but he also bowed his hands to pay respects to the crown prince, with a light tone: "My humble minister Lin Chongtan pays respects to the crown prince."

A cloak with ambergris was wrapped around me at this moment, and a veil was also put on my head. Before I could react, someone had already picked me up.The prince's hand pressed my face into his arms, and a voice sounded above my head, "Tie up Lin Chongtan."

Because I was completely covered, I could only judge the movement outside by the sound, and I heard the movement of other people coming.

When the light reappeared in front of my eyes, Lin Chongtan was no longer in the Xiaoxi Pavilion, the prince looked at the messy bed, and his face seemed to be a little uglier.

He put me on the table and untied the belt around my wrist.While holding the belt in his hand, he slightly opened my cloak.I held back my shame and didn't move, watching him slowly let go of his hand again.

"Can my brother dress himself?" he asked me.

I stretched out my hand to tighten the cloak, tears still hung on my face when I accused Lin Chongtan, I knew that I should pretend to be weak and wronged, and try my best to accuse Lin Chongtan of being a beast, but I am facing the prince alone with this attitude At that time, I couldn't pretend to be wronged for a while, so I just nodded with tears in my eyes.

When the prince got up to leave, I couldn't help reaching out and grabbing his sleeve, but the words I had thought up early in the morning stuck in my throat.

The prince stopped walking, looked down at me for a while, and then said, "Put on your clothes first, then don't worry about anything else, just go back to Huayang Palace like a normal person." He wiped away the tears on my cheeks with his fingers, his tone serious Many, "Don't worry, Gu will help you deal with Lin Chongtan."

After saying this, he walked out.I calmed down to breathe, and then I shook my hands to get dressed.Luckily my clothes weren't very soiled, it was just the discomfort between my legs that was making me miserable.While I was wiping it hastily with a silk handkerchief, there seemed to be screams coming from downstairs.

My hand trembled suddenly, and the scream didn't sound like Lin Chongtan's.

Enduring the soreness, I speed up the action of dressing.After I got dressed, I recalled the prince's words, and finally put his cloak on the desk, and hurriedly left the rest pavilion.

There was no one on the seventh and sixth floors. When I went down to the fifth floor, I seemed to hear movement on the fifth floor.I couldn't help but glanced at the movement, but because of the bookshelf blocking it, I couldn't see what was going on inside.

I thought for a moment and chose to leave first.

Before leaving Zangshu Pavilion, I randomly took a few books from the first floor, and then got into the soft sedan waiting at the back door.As soon as I got on the soft sedan chair, I couldn't help curling up.I didn't dare to make a sound, I just stared blankly at the few books I brought in.

When I returned to Huayang Palace, I didn't rush to take a bath, but stayed in the bedroom waiting for the news from outside.If the crown prince conceals Lin Chongtan's bullying of me, then I will bring the marks on my body to the emperor.

And the news that reached Huayang Palace shocked me so much that I broke the sapphire inkstone that was being polished.

Earlier, because I was restless, I wanted to grind ink to force myself to calm down.

Looking at the overturned inkstone on the ground, I wiped my hands with a silk handkerchief and asked, "Please repeat what you just said."

Niu Xi repeated again, "Lin Zhizhou Lin Chongtan was drunk in Zangshu Pavilion and insulted the future prince and side concubine who came to Zangshu Pavilion to read, but was discovered by Pu Ruonanpu, the editor of the Imperial Academy. In order to cover up the facts, Lin Chongtan killed Lord Pu."

I closed my eyes, and it took me a long time to say: "I see, Niu Xi, you go out first. I don't need anyone to wait on me when I take a shower later."

"Yes."

After Niu Xi left, I sank myself into the bath, I was still afraid of the water, but at this moment, besides fear, I had other things in my heart.

I succeeded.

What Lin Chongtan committed exploded in the palace like a thunderbolt, not only inside the palace, but also people outside the palace knew about it.Overnight, everyone in the capital knew that Qiongxiu's strong and vigorous young No. [-] scholar had murdered people and even raped the future prince and side concubine.

In the early morning of the next day, I also got a new news. Miss Chen hanged herself in the middle of the night yesterday, but she survived and was rescued by the maid serving her.

Concubine Zhuang also knew about this matter, when she had dinner in the morning, she asked me: "You also went to Zangshu Pavilion yesterday, didn't you encounter those things?"

I shook my head, "I only stayed on the first floor for a short while yesterday, and came out with a few books."

"That's good, don't get involved in this matter." Concubine Zhuang Gui frowned disgustedly as she spoke, "I really can't see that Lin Chongtan is the kind of person who would do such a thing."

I didn't answer, just bowed my head and drank shrimp and red bean porridge.

Concubine Zhuang Gui suddenly reached out and touched my forehead, "Did you catch the cold again after going out yesterday? My forehead is a little hot. After breakfast, don't go anywhere. The concubine mother asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

I quickly said: "No need to call the imperial doctor, I just feel a little uncomfortable, concubine mother, there is a lot of trouble outside now, it's better for us to keep a low profile."

Concubine Zhuang Gui didn't know what she thought of, she sighed and nodded, "Okay, but if you feel more uncomfortable, you must tell the concubine mother."

After breakfast, I learned from Song Nan that Lin Chongtan is now locked in the prison, waiting to be dealt with.After the emperor knew what Lin Chongtan had committed, he handed over the matter to the prince.

After Song Nan left, I destroyed all the medicine Nie Wenle gave me, and even burned the medicine box that contained the medicine.In addition to these, I destroyed all the letters and gifts that Lin Chongtan sent me.

The chain of anklets given by Lin Chongtan burned for a long time, and only the red string was burnt. Seeing this, I had to wait for the fire to go out before taking it out.

I couldn't burn it, so I found an open space and buried it.

Looking at the snowdrops covered with mud, I really realized how despicable I was.In fact, I probably guessed what the prince would do.

I don't want the emperor to see this scene because I don't want the emperor to see me as a prince but being crushed by another man. When he is angry, he may think that I am useless.The most important thing is that if the emperor knows about it, Concubine Zhuang Gui will definitely know about it.

I don't want to make Concubine Zhuang feel sad.

So I chose the prince, unless the prince does not come, I will let Niu Xi invite the emperor.

I tested the prince in every possible way to test his reaction after he knew that I was bullied by Lin Chongtan.If he really has a heart for me, then with his character, he will pick me out of it.Just like he did to the twelve princesses, after the twelve princesses trespassed into the Xiquan Palace, he kept everything about the twelve princesses secret.

If I hadn't seen the twelve princesses with my own eyes, I would never have known that the person who screamed that day was the twelve princesses.

Of course, the most important point is that I want the prince to destroy Lin Chongtan himself.It's just that I didn't expect Miss Chen to be involved in this matter, but I didn't expect it at all.

Since the crown prince discovered the Jinshi waist badge with me, I'm afraid he became suspicious.

The prince must have known about Miss Chen's betrayal of him, so he pinned it on Miss Chen. Miss Chen dared not say that she was not bullied by Lin Chongtan because of her guilt.

But why did the crown prince kill Tanhualang Pu Ruonan?

Did he not want him to marry the twelve princesses?

If Lin Chongtan could know about the Twelve Princesses and Tanhualang Pu Ruonan, the crown prince would know about it too.He knew that Pu Ruonan would be furious if he seduced the twelve princesses in private, so he solved Pu Ruonan together?

When I went to Zangshu Pavilion yesterday, I didn't see Tanhualang Pu Ruonan.Is he the Zangshuge who came later?

The screams I heard on the fifth floor yesterday were most likely made by Pu Ruonan.

But these are my guesses after all.

More than ten days later, the palace servants from the East Palace came to bring me snacks, saying that they were made in the small kitchen of the East Palace, and the crown prince specially asked him to bring them over for me to try.

I thought there was something in his words, so I opened the food box, and sure enough, I found a small note at the bottom of the food box.The prince asked me if I wanted to go to the prison, if I wanted to go, I would find an excuse to leave the palace tomorrow, and he would take me into the prison.

I hid the note in the palm of my hand and said to the people from Donggong Palace who came to deliver the snacks: "I will taste it well, please tell the prince for me."

On the second day, I sneaked out of the palace while Concubine Zhuang was going to accompany her in front of the imperial court.My carriage was stopped not far from Changle Gate.

It was the person from Donggong Palace who gave me snacks yesterday.

He bowed to me and whispered: "Ninth Prince, Your Highness is already waiting for you."

His eyes swept towards the corner of the street, I followed his gaze and saw a carriage there.

I asked the palace man driving the carriage to drive the carriage, and when I got to the side of the carriage, I got out of the carriage and turned into the carriage.As soon as I went up, I saw the prince.He wore a black robe today, turned his eyes around me, and said: "My brother is here, come sit by Gu."

I did so silently, and the vehicle started moving forward.Not long after driving, I said softly, "Brother Prince, Miss Chen..."

I was interrupted by the prince before I finished speaking.

"She will be the lonely prince's side concubine in the future, brother don't have to worry about her." It should not be my illusion, the prince said this with a bit of coldness.

But he quickly held my hand again, "My brother doesn't need to think about anything today, all he needs to do is spit out the bad breath in his heart."

I understood what he meant and nodded slowly.

The light in the dungeon is not very bright. On both sides of the corridor are small rooms surrounded by iron bars. Some have small windows that no one can pass through, and some have no windows at all.The floor tiles under his feet felt sticky for some reason, and the sky prison exuded a strange smell.The smell was extremely unpleasant, and I couldn't help frowning, but the prince beside me seemed to be used to it, and his expression didn't change at all.

I turned my eyes slightly to look at the cramped rooms, there were people inside.Those people were unkempt and huddled in the corner, and some of them rushed over and grabbed the iron bars when they heard us coming, but just as they opened their mouths, they were brutally slapped on the head by the jailer.

We went all the way to the depths of the dungeon before we stopped.

And the first time I stopped, I saw Lin Chongtan.

I almost didn't recognize him.

I have never seen Lin Chongtan in such a state of distress. The plain clothes on his body were stained with blood, his hands were handcuffed by chains, and the blood dripping from his hem was mixed into the bloody water on the wet floor tiles.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

Blood flowed from the cell to the outside.

Lin Chongtan should have heard someone coming, and slowly raised his head.When he saw me, his eyes rolled slowly.
