C16 (2/2)

At the side, Yan Xiaoxi had just swallowed a grape. In a voice that only two people could hear, she said, ”Little Linlin, just who are you fighting against?”

”Your father.” Nangong Lin replied indifferently. He had already seen through the other party's scheme.

”What? How is that possible? My father is not even acquainted with you. How can he collude with the enemy? How can he sell his country?” Yan Xiaoxi shouted in surprise, her voice rising in volume.

Suddenly, she covered her mouth and concluded, ”Defamation, it must be slander. Does Minister Lin have a brain? Someone must have ordered him to do that.”

After saying that, she looked towards Nangong Zhen.

Nangong Lin smiled and couldn't help but exclaim. This woman was sometimes excessively smart.

On the Dragon Throne, Nangong Xiao read through all of Minister Lin's reports and evidence.

It was written that during the one year period before Nangong Lin entered the early dynasty, he had been secretly training the army and sent messages to Yan Xiaotian. It was written that during the one year period before Nangong Lin entered the early dynasty, he had been secretly training the army and had repeatedly sent messages to Yan Xiaotian.

His evidence was the letter between Nangong Lin and Yan Xiaotian. Indeed, there was a conspiracy on it. Nangong Xiao was able to tell that the handwriting was Nangong Lin's handwriting.

”Lin'er, how do you explain?” Now that the evidence was conclusive, there was no reason for Nangong Xiao to not believe him.

He had always thought that Nangong Lin's temperament was uncontested in the world and was not suitable for him to be king. Furthermore, he owed Nangong Zhen's mother for being his concubine. Thus, Nangong Lin had passed on his position as the crown prince to him.

Never would he have expected that Nangong Lin had such great ambition for the throne to be used by the enemy to usurp the throne.

Nangong Lin raised his head and coincidentally saw the disappointment in Nangong Xiao's eyes and Nangong Zhen's smile. He stood up and walked out, ready to speak.

Just at this moment, a black shadow rapidly appeared in the hall, flashing past. When everyone could react, they only heard a loud bang, and then Lin Shangshu fell to the ground, a bloody wound appearing on his neck, and he died on the spot.

”There's an assassin.” It was hard to tell who shouted, but the crowd fell into chaos.

Immediately, the guard commander led his men to rush in and spread out around Nangong Xiao to protect him.

The assassin was no longer in the hall. It seemed that the target of this operation was none other than Minister Lin, who had escaped unscathed after killing him.

”Chase, what are you waiting for?” Nangong Zhen loudly berated the guard commander beside him.

The guard commander glanced at Nangong Xiao and, seeing him nod his head, he split his troops into two groups. One group would continue to protect the emperor while the other group would follow him in chasing after the assassin trail.

”This person isn't sent by Brother Huang to silence us, is he?” When those words were said, everyone's gazes immediately turned towards Nangong Lin.

Everyone could not help but look at Nangong Zhen with doubt in their eyes. They all felt that Nangong Zhen's words were reasonable.

For no reason at all, an assassin suddenly appeared at a crucial moment, and the one he was trying to assassinate was none other than Minister Lin.

Nangong Lin was silent. His gaze was deep and thoughtful.

Before he could reply, Yan Xiaoxi, who was beside him, could no longer hold it in. She faced Nangong Lin's questioning gaze and said, ”Your Highness, I don't understand the matter regarding this consort's mail. Can I ask a knowledgeable and knowledgeable you?”

Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment. He couldn't understand what she was trying to do under such an atmosphere.

However, before the gazes of the crowd, Nangong Lin was unable to refuse. Thus, he nodded and agreed, ”Of course you can.”

”I wonder if you have seen Lin Shangshu hand over Little Linlin's evidence to the Emperor?” Yan Xiaoxi continued to speak calmly, a sweet smile still on her face. She always looked innocent and innocent.

Little Lin Lin?

Nangong Zhen paused for a few seconds and immediately reacted, ”Yes.”

”So, under these circumstances, if Minister Lin dies, is it good for Little Linlin, or bad for him?” Doesn't this consort understand this very well? ” Yan Xiaoxi furrowed her brows, looking at Nangong Zhen with a curious expression on her face.
