After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Lin Ju took Qin Lang and Lin Qi to the clinic. Qin Lang was more seriously injured, and the doctor stitched up his wounds first.

Because he had to wait for the officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture to take his statement, Qin Lang did not take any anesthetic.

However, before the doctor could even insert the needle, Qin Lang was already screaming in pain, and the screaming lasted for a quarter of an hour before finally stopping.

"Is my nephew alright?" Lin Ju stood to the side, feeling extremely distressed upon hearing this.

Qin Lang lay weakly on the couch, moving his head, which was covered in cold sweat. "I'm alright, I can hold on for now."

Fortunately, Lin Qi was only drugged. The doctor quickly prepared the antidote, cooked it, and had Lin Qi and Qin Lang drink it.

With his tense mind completely relaxed, Lin Ju thought carefully and realized that something was wrong.

It just so happens that her son was drugged, and Jiang Ting happened to come to Zuixianju to buy snacks, and then she happened to see Qin Lang in trouble.

All of this was too coincidental, making him inevitably suspect that Jiang Ting was also involved.

Hearing that the sons of the newly appointed Minister of War Lin Ju and the General of Zhenyuan had gotten into trouble, Zheng Lun personally led his men to the clinic to take their statements.

When Zheng Lun arrived, Lin Qi had just woken up.

When the men compared their statements, they were all terrified.

Lin Qi was just a hair's breadth away from dying, Lin Ju would have lost his only son, and Qin Lang would have been branded a murderer and beheaded.

"Who on earth could be so vicious?" Lin Ju clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table, knocking over the teacup, which rolled to the ground and shattered.

Zheng Lun didn't say anything.

He felt uneasy.

Both are first-class dukes and first-class generals. If someone is not afraid to be enemies with both of them at the same time, he must either have the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, or he must have absolute ability.

The court is now divided into three factions: the emperor's faction, Prime Minister Su's faction, and the faction that is uninvolved in both.

Perhaps there will be another faction led by Prince Jing.

Based on my years of experience in handling cases, the person who could simultaneously target the heir of the Duke of Ying's mansion and the second son of the Zhenyuan General's mansion must have a very simple background.

A name was about to emerge in his mind.

But all he wanted was to be someone who didn't get involved in either, to do his job well, and to retire to his hometown when he reached a certain age. Why was that so difficult?

Qin Lang remembered what Xiao Yu had told him, and his mind cleared instantly. Ignoring the pain in his arm, he propped himself up and sat up.

"Perhaps I know the truth."

Everyone in the hall was instantly drawn to his words and turned to look at him.

"Perhaps someone wants to create chaos in the entire Da Ning, turn the old ministers against each other, and then take the opportunity to eliminate them one by one, so as to achieve their goal."

The purpose is self-evident.

People from the Jingzhao Prefecture came to report that Yunyi and Miaojin were both dead.

Committed suicide by hanging.

They all left wills, admitting to having a grudge against the Qin family and that this was the reason for their revenge.

Having already heard Qin Lang's words, no one naturally believed his last words.

Lin Ju's mind gradually cleared up. After instructing the people of the Jingzhao Prefecture to send Lin Qi and Qin Lang home, he prepared to take Zheng Lun straight to the palace, but was stopped by Qin Lang.

"Uncle Lin, Lord Zheng, you haven't asked me why I came to Zuixianju yet."

Lin Ju looked at Qin Lang with suspicion and asked, "Why did you come to Zuixianju?"

Qin Lang lay on the low couch and recounted the story of the He family once more.

Lin Ju and Zheng Lun frowned even more deeply.

Qin Lang said, "Judging from today's events, the young master of the He family was probably also set up. Perhaps we can find out something from that Liu Yu'er."

What a big game of chess.

Zheng Lun then ordered his men to arrest Liu Yu'er at the He residence. After giving the orders, he and Lin Ju went directly to the palace.

Upon hearing the two reports, the emperor was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand, but he remained silent, gazing at the heavy rain outside the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Although neither of them said it explicitly, their words clearly referred to Su Heng.

He also knew that Su Heng was plotting something, especially after the Crown Prince was deposed, he became even more restless.

However, none of this evidence directly points to Su Heng, and the emperor cannot directly order his arrest. To deal with Su Heng, a decisive blow must be dealt to ensure he can never recover.

The emperor exhaled deeply.

"I know of your two ministers' deep patriotism. However, the rain is too heavy, and I cannot see what is behind the rain. We must wait until the sky clears and everything is exposed to the sun before we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"I trust both of you. Let's proceed according to his wishes for now. As for the rest, I have my own plans."

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Lin Ju and Zheng Lun finally relaxed their furrowed brows.

Lin Ju cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, the Duke of Ying’s Mansion and the General of Zhenyuan’s Mansion have suffered this calamity because they blocked that person’s path. Who knows what will happen in the future? I would like to implore Your Majesty that if anything happens in the future, please do not believe slanderous words. At least give the important civil and military officials in the court a chance to speak.”

Emperors are always suspicious, and Su Heng might take advantage of this to form factions and eliminate dissidents.

He only hoped that the emperor would not be blinded at that time.

This is also to pray for a chance for survival for him and his family.

The emperor turned to look at Lin Ju, his deep eyes scrutinizing him. "In your eyes, am I such a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong?"

Although the voice was calm, it carried an air of authority and a hint of anger.

Lin Ju hurriedly replied, "It's not that I don't trust Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has to read so many memorials and reports every day that you must be tired at times. At those times, I beg Your Majesty to be more patient."

Seeing Lin Ju's panic, the emperor sneered, "Look how scared you are!"

"I grant your request. Whether it is you or any other official in the court, if the same thing happens in the future, I will have someone investigate before taking any action."

Having received the emperor's promise, Lin Ju and Zheng Lun knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I thank you! Your Majesty is wise!"

After leaving the palace, Zheng Lun felt much closer to the newly appointed Minister of War.

The two of them had been through thick and thin together, and having another friend like that meant they would have someone to speak up for them if they encountered any problems in the future.

With a friendly smile, Zheng Lun said to Lin Ju, "Lord Lin, you personally experienced what happened today. Would you like to come to the Jingzhao Prefecture office sometime so we can discuss the case?"

Lin Ju still really liked Zheng Lun's ability to get away with anything; normally, he would never refuse such an invitation.

However, he had something more important to do today.

Go home and comfort your wife.

His wife must be terrified by what happened to her son, and she might still be holding him and crying right now.

Also, investigate the guard Jiang Ting.

It's better to know his background so that we can have better dealings with him in the future.

*

Yun Ting returned to the Jiang residence and had a maid deliver the pastries to Jiang Yan's courtyard, while he himself braved the rain to return to the Prince Su's residence.

He couldn't believe that Xiao Yu would still give him this opportunity and lend him a hand after he had treated Xiao Yu that way.

Xiao Yu must hate him.

Yunting went back to her room to change into dry clothes, then went directly to Furong Pavilion with an umbrella.

Su Lingyue was giving Xiao Yu a massage when there was a knock on the door. "Your Highness, Guard Yun has arrived."

Xiao Yuyou said to Su Lingyue, "Yue'er, please refuse on my behalf."

Su Lingyue stopped her massage. "Is Your Highness sure? It's raining so hard, Guard Yun might have something urgent to attend to."

“I already know what he wants to report; it’s just a small matter.”

Now, he just wants to enjoy his last moments with Su Lingyue and doesn't want anyone to disturb him, especially Yun Ting.

Xiao Yu always acted with propriety, so Su Lingyue followed his instructions and raised her voice to say to the outside, "The prince is asleep. Please come another day."

Upon hearing Su Lingyue's voice, Yun Ting's eyes darkened. It truly needed to be another day; now was not a good time to talk.

After speaking with those outside, Su Lingyue's curiosity returned.

"What does Yunting want to say to the Prince?"

"It's nothing, I just ruined one of Su Heng's plans."

These words stirred up even more curiosity in Su Lingyue's heart.

She stopped massaging him, her eyes shining like stars. She knelt down beside Xiao Yu, leaned close to him, and asked, "Your Highness, please tell me, so I can share in your joy."

Xiao Yu looked at the little head lying next to him and couldn't help but chuckle.

This little thing has such a strong sense of curiosity. I wonder if she'll discover what I left for her?
