Chapter 1527: A Fierce Knife!

Translator: Lonelytree

This was because he had to side with Princess Guguo.

Xiao Jingyu secretly looked around and saw everyone looking at Lin Yuelan strangely. The corners of her mouth immediately curled up.

She was very satisfied with the results.

Regardless of whether these people were telling the truth or not, as long as Lin Yuelan didn’t have any strong evidence, the people of the capital would definitely think that everything was true.

If Lin Yuelan wanted to prove her innocence, she would need to ask for witnesses from the villagers of Lin Family Village.

However, this process took too long. By the time they brought the person over, it might be too late.

Lin Yuelan’s status as the princess of Guguo must have been greatly affected by this ” unfilial ” incident. Therefore, His Majesty must give the people of the world an explanation. Otherwise, it would be ugly if everyone learned from Princess Gu t s unfilial behaviour.

Even if Lin Yuelan had no choice but to be unfilial to her parents, that would still be a sin, wouldn’t it?

Just as Xiao Jingyu was daydreaming…

“Then would people trust the emperor?”

When everyone heard the word “emperor”, they immediately looked over.

An old man wearing a yellow brocade robe with a dignified expression walked out from the crowd. Behind him were four guards with sabres.

“Father! ”

“Imperial Grandfather! ”

“Your Majesty!’

A few different voices called out to one person at the same time.

When everyone saw the face of the person, they were shocked.

Soon after, everyone except Lin Yuelan knelt down and shouted in unison,”

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

“Rise!” Eunuch Zhang, who was by the Emperor’s side, conveyed the Emoeror’s words.

“What if I testify for Lin Yuelan?” Yuwen Longyan walked up to Lin Laosan and Li Cuihua. His tone was calm but dignified. His expression was dignified without anger.” What if I am the witness and the so-called Lin villagers behind you are indeed perjured?”

Yuwen Longyan’s words shocked everyone.

What does Your Majesty mean?

Could it be that he knew these people?

But how was that possible?

His Majesty was busy in the palace every day, and these people were all villagers in the mountains. So, where would His Majesty get to know these people?

Xiao Jingyu and Liu Xinren, who were at the back of the team, had a bad feeling when they heard the Emperor’s question.

They didn’t know why.

Lin Laosan, Li Cuihua, and the others didn’t panic much when they first met the Crown Prince. That was because they didn’t know who the Crown Prince was. However, after they knew who the Crown Prince was, Xiao Jingyu’s voice seemed to have a magical power, calming their panicked hearts and calming them down.

That was why they were fearless and began to question Lin Yuelan’s character. Those who didn’t know the truth would start to doubt her, or they might even think that Lin Yuelan was a kind of unfilial and unjust person.

It could be said that as long as Lin Yuelan’s ” unfilial ” reputation was confirmed, then according to the Longyan Dynasty’s laws, Lin Yuelan’s status as the princess of the country might be stripped away, and her reputation might suffer a disastrous decline.

The reason why they were so confident was that these witnesses were indeed villagers of the Lin Family Village, Lin Yuelan was indeed unfilial and unjust. The people of Beijing had long spread rumours that Lin Yuelan was unfilial to her parents. The people of Beijing did not know the truth.

If they wanted the truth, they had to get a third party who had nothing to do with Lin Yuelan to prove that everything Lin Yuelan did had a reason to be unfilial.

However, anyone who had a close relationship with Lin Yuelan, like Jiang Zhennan and Lin Deshan, could not convince the public.

However, at this moment…

When Lin Laosan, Li Cuihua, and the people behind them heard that the emperor had arrived, they were so frightened that their heads fell to the ground. They didn’t dare to look up. Their hands tightly grabbed the soil on the ground, but they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Because this person was the Emperor!

They had never thought that they would not only run into the Crown Prince but also alarm the Emperor.

Thus, no one dared to raise their heads to look at the Emperor. Every single one of them was sweating profusely, large beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads and temples, passing through their cheeks, and directly dripping onto the ground.

Because they knew very well that they were facing the emperor, if they said anything inappropriate, it would be a big crime of lying to the emperor. “What, you don’t want to talk anymore?” Yuwen Longyan shouted sharply,”

Lin Sandou, Li Cuihua, look up and see who I am.”

The two people who were named were so flustered that they almost fainted.

They would not have the guts to speak, let alone look up at his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyu and Liu Xinren, who were hiding in the crowd, frowned.

They had doubt in their hearts at the same time, ‘How did Your Majesty know that these two people are called Lin Sandou and Li Cuihua?’

Unless…

His Majesty knew them!

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Jingyu and Liu Xinren panicked.

If that were really the case, they would not be able to bring Lin Yuelan down. The emperor might even get to the bottom of this matter. If he were to pursue the matter, they…

The two of them could not imagine the consequences.

Xiao Jingyu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. However, the hand that was holding the handkerchief kept twisting and twisting. After a moment, a high-quality silk handkerchief was twisted into a mess.

Lin Laosan did not dare to raise his head. He kept kowtowing and stammered,

“l… Common people, no… I don’t dare… dare…”

He didn’t dare to raise his head.

Yuwen Longyan snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, you don’t dare to raise your head! Men, make them raise their heads!”

At the Emperor’s order, someone walked over and grabbed their necks, raising their heads.

Lin Laosan and Li Cuihua’s heads lifted up, and they looked at Yuwen Longyan.

“Wen…01d Master Wen…

The moment he said that, there was silence!
