I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Concubine Wan looked calm.

"Second Prince, are you going to convict me based on the one-sided statement of a dead eunuch?"

"Today, I just happened to meet the eldest prince in the palace, and I just remembered that I got a precious jade a few days ago. I heard that the precious jade can make people's minds clear and intelligent."

"I want to give it to the eldest prince so that he can also share the worries of Your Majesty!"

"Who would have thought that the Second Prince's people would arrive before the jade was taken out? It was just in time!"

"As a woman, I have lived deep in the palace and have always abided by the code of conduct for women. I only ask for a clear name, and I hope Your Majesty will understand."

After saying this, she leaned forward slightly, folded her hands at her sides, and performed a standard and dignified bow.

But her eyes glanced at Lin Rui like a sharp arrow...

Lin Rui was trembling all over and his face was pale.

He didn't want to believe what he saw.

"how is this possible?"

He yelled frantically.

"Empress Wan, you must have forgotten!"

"You...you are having an affair with the eldest prince!"

"Don't try to quibble!"

His face turned red and his speech became incoherent.

Wanpin remained kneeling on the ground, saying nothing, but just keeping her head down quietly.

Her silence made Lin Rui look even more like a madman.

No matter what the truth is, it doesn’t matter to Emperor Liang.

Nothing is best.

Emperor Liang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I will definitely clear your name and make your efforts worthwhile."

Wanpin kowtowed and thanked her.

"Thank you for your grace, my Lord."

Then he slowly stood up, stood up dignifiedly, and left.

Only Lin Rui was left in the hall, acting crazy and still talking nonsense.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"You are all lying to me, you are all lying to me!"

Lin Fan taunted.

"Second brother, the facts are right in front of you, clearly! No one lied to you, all of this proves that you were just...

"Slander me!"

Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting a drum.

After saying that, Lin Fan also knelt down respectfully.

"Father, please be discerning and seek justice for your son!"

Emperor Liang relaxed his frown.

"What happened today was indeed a misunderstanding."

"From now on, no one in the palace will be allowed to make irresponsible comments on this matter again."

"If anyone dares to say even a word about this, he will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!"

He looked at Lin Rui who had gone crazy.

"As for you, you will be grounded for five months."

When Nian Gui heard this, he felt dissatisfied.

Grounded?

What is the difference between being fined and not being fined?

"Your Majesty, such a light punishment for slandering my brother like this may not be convincing enough!"

Lin Fan also saluted again, his tone firm.

"Father, please understand."

Seeing that both of them were dissatisfied, Emperor Liang had no choice but to continue: "The second brother was indeed too presumptuous this time, so he will be fined six months' salary and must apologize to the eldest brother."

apologize?

Apologize?

Lin Fan was not very satisfied with these treatments.

It's just some nonsense.

Giving him a few good beatings would be the real punishment!

But since I have just arrived, I shouldn’t be too ostentatious. I’ll just leave it at that for today.

Lin Fan stood up.

"You can even apologize!"

"However, this gift must be carefully selected!"

"This apology must also be made in the main hall, with the kowtow ceremony!"

He knew very well in his heart that once they left the hall, Lin Rui would never take the word "apology" seriously.

kowtow?

Lin Rui's anger erupted instantly.

Let me kowtow to the foolish Lin Fan?

absurd!

He just relied on luck and the protection of others to win a small victory today!

A fool like this, how can he compare with me in terms of wisdom and means?

He can't knock his head at all!

"Father, please don't be so confused as to believe the sweet words of the demon concubine!"

"Every word I said is true, not a single word is false!"

Seeing that he was relentless and determined to make the situation so embarrassing, Emperor Liang finally lost his patience.

"Lin Rui! How long do you want to make trouble?"

"I have been tolerant of you in every way, but you still don't know how to repent!"

"Hurry up and apologize to your elder brother, don't force me to use force!"

Lin Rui gritted his teeth and still refused to bow his head.

"Father, I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"

Emperor Liang's eyes widened with anger.

"Lin Rui! This is already biased towards you. You should know what nonsense you just said!"

"If you dare to disobey my order again, the punishment waiting for you will be much more than this!"

After hearing what Emperor Liang said, Lin Rui's legs suddenly went weak.

What did you say just now?

His mind was in a mess.

He said he was willing to guarantee it with his life?

Haha, in the end, it was me who put the pressure on you?

Finally, under the majesty of Emperor Liang, Lin Rui surrendered.

"Brother, it is indeed my fault..."

"Is this an apology? Why do I feel like it's insincere?"

Lin Fan shook his head and pretended to be dissatisfied.

After hearing this, Lin Rui's eyes turned red with hatred.

You just won a game!

He screamed madly in his heart.

Lin Fan!

Don't be too proud too soon!

I will remember this grudge today!

When this storm is over, I will make you pay a heavy price for what you did today.

I, Lin Rui, will never give up!

I will definitely return double the humiliation I suffered today!

"Brother! I, Lin Rui, sincerely apologize to you here!"

"I shouldn't have made random suspicions! I have wronged my brother!"

"I hope big brother will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"

Seeing that he had reached his limit, Lin Fan nodded slowly.

He took a step forward.

"Father, it is because of your trust in me that I have not been falsely accused by others."

"So today I am determined to repay my father's trust."

When Emperor Liang heard this, he was surprised.

How could a usually stupid child become so sensible?

Nian Gui also looked relieved.

After not seeing each other for a few years, the eldest prince has finally grown up.

"No need, as long as you can be safe and healthy in the future, I will be satisfied."

Emperor Liang's words were sincere and heartfelt.

After all, this silly son could do nothing to repay him.

As long as you don't make a fool of yourself, everyone will be happy.

"No!"

Lin Fan was very determined.

"Father, I must repay you!"

"Today, I saw that my uncle brought a poison from Yan State. I was very interested. I beg you to give it to me for research."

"Within five days, I will be able to give you the result!"

"Humph!"

Lin Rui sneered.

"What can you research?"

Nian Gui glanced at him and Lin Rui immediately fell silent.

Nian Gui himself did not quite agree with it.

"This thing is extremely dangerous. I don't know how many of us have been killed. Even professionals in the military department can hardly do a foolproof research on it, let alone you who have no experience at all!"

Emperor Liang also said in a deep voice: "Fan'er, don't act willfully, this matter is of no small importance."

Lin Rui still insisted on his own opinion.

"Father, I will definitely conduct research without harming myself."

"Within five days! I will give you a result!"
