Chapter 340 I only live in the present
Who are you angry about?
Naturally, he was angry at her, the one who cursed King Rui!
Yes, how could she forget.
Although Prince Rui may be dead, the Emperor is still alive.
The Emperor loved and doted on Prince Rui so much that upon hearing the news that Prince Rui was seriously injured and missing, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
In order to find King Rui, he personally ordered people to be sent to the border to prevent the soldiers at the border from giving up the search.
If the emperor knew that she had openly cursed Prince Rui, he would definitely not let her go, and even the imperial decree granting her marriage would not be able to save her life.
By then, she would probably be the first princess in Dai Viet to be imprisoned before even entering the palace.
Although Lin Xiyan is arrogant and domineering, he is not completely brainless.
At least she could probably tell which people could be trampled to death, which people needed to be feared, and which people should never be offended.
As for those people whom she absolutely cannot afford to offend, she would not go against them even if she had a hundred times the courage.
The current emperor, who can control her life and the lives of all the people in the Lin family, is obviously the person who cannot be offended.
If she brings her dispute to the emperor, the emperor will most likely side with her because of her father's hard work and great contributions in guarding the border.
But today is different.
The person she cursed was not someone else, but the emperor's most beloved Prince Rui, the one who was raised by the emperor.
Lin Xiyan knew with her toes that the emperor would not only not favor her, but would be extremely angry on the contrary.
Even the frustration that was pent up in his heart due to Prince Rui's serious injury and disappearance would be vented on her and on the Lin family.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiyan finally lost her arrogance, and her dark pupils were filled with fear and regret.
How could she be so outspoken and give Shen Qionghua an opportunity to criticize her?
No, that's not right.
How could she be wrong?
She can't be wrong!
It's clearly those two bitches Shen Qionghua and Luo Xiyao!
If it weren't for these two people who have always been against her, and even used Zhou Lingyi, that fickle and shameless bitch, to provoke her.
How could she, in such a rage, blurt out such words as "Prince Rui is dead"?
She's not stupid!
Don’t you know that you shouldn’t say such things out loud?
Correct!
It’s these two bitches!
Deliberately set a trap for her!
Lin Xiyan was filled with hatred.
When Shen Qionghua saw the panic on her face, she knew she was scared.
He loosened his grip on her neck.
Lin Xiyan took a few steps back immediately after being freed, gasping for breath.
After his complexion returned to normal, he said, "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever curse King Rui? What evidence do you have?"
"I'm telling you, even if you confront me before the Emperor, I'm not afraid of you! You're just empty talk, you have no evidence!"
Lin Xiyan raised her chin, looking like, "What can you do to me?"
Lin Xiyan wasn't really that stupid. She knew that she would never admit to such a thing, so she changed her tone immediately.
"Who said there's no evidence?" Luo Xiyao stepped forward, hands on hips, and glared at Lin Xiyan, "I am the evidence!"
"I can prove that you did curse King Rui!"
Luo Xiyao was already burning with anger at this moment.
No, or rather, the anger in her heart had never subsided since Lin Xiyan said that.
She has had no brothers or sisters since she was young.
There is only one cousin, Xie Nanyuan.
Although Xie Nanyuan was a little annoying in his daily life, he always had a stern face as if the whole world owed him something. His personality was also unpredictable and he said one thing and meant another.
But he is her only relative besides her father.
Sometimes she had wished he would disappear from the world and from her because of his harsh discipline, but that didn't mean she could let others curse him to death.
Hearing Luo Xiyao's words, Lin Xiyan looked flustered for a moment, then puffed out her chest and said, "You prove it? How can your words prove it?"
"Who in the capital doesn't know that Princess Pingning of the Zhenguo Mansion and Princess Jialin of the Shen family are close friends?"
"It's obvious that you are colluding with each other to slander me!"
"Seeing Prince Rui seriously injured and missing, his life or death unknown, you were in a state of panic, and you took your anger out on me, beating me up. This is truly excessive. I am going to the palace now and let the Emperor make the decision for me!"
"Just wait for me!"
Lin Xiyan didn't want to get involved with Shen Qionghua and the other two anymore, and she was also a little afraid that if she said anything more, she would be led into trouble by them again. She turned around in a hurry and wanted to go into the palace.
Luo Xiyao was extremely angry. She didn't expect Lin Xiyan to be so shameless and refuse to admit it even if she was beaten to death!
She looked at Shen Qionghua for help, hoping that Shen Qionghua could find a solution.
Although she firmly believed that the emperor would not punish her, the current situation was sensitive. If she beat up a noble lady in the capital for no reason, there would be nothing else to worry about, but she was afraid that Concubine Zhou would seize this handle and do something evil.
After all, her father and Xie Nanyuan are not here now, and her two major backers are not here. In fact, Luo Xiyao is still a little afraid of Concubine Zhou.
This woman has climbed to her current position with both brains and means, and she will definitely not miss this rare opportunity.
Shen Qionghua noticed Luo Xiyao's eyes, understood what she meant, and burst into laughter.
Although Lin Xiyan was tough on the outside, she had suffered losses at the hands of Shen Qionghua many times and was still afraid of Shen Qionghua in her heart. When she saw her laughing out of character, she subconsciously took several steps back.
The choking feeling in her throat seemed to come back again. She looked at Shen Qionghua warily and said, "You, you, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Qionghua looked at her with a strange smile, and after a while he said, "What are you laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at you for being stupid again."
"You!" Lin Xiyan's face turned red and white.
Shen Qionghua's smile faded, and she said, "Do you think you'll be alright if you don't admit it? There are so many people coming and going on this street. Can you guarantee that no one heard what you said just now?"
When Lin Xiyan heard Shen Qionghua's words, she subconsciously looked at the people around her.
After coming to his senses, he immediately said, "Oh! Don't try to fool me. Do you think I'll be scared if you say that? Dream on!"
Even if there was, how could those lowly people dare to go against her? They probably wouldn't even have time to hide.
Lin Xiyan's thoughts were so easy to guess, her panic was written all over her face.
"Don't you think your voice just now wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear it?"
"Even if there is, ordinary people would not dare to stand up against you, the young lady of General Lin's Mansion?" Shen Qionghua said softly.
Lin Xiyan pursed her lips and said nothing, because she knew from Shen Qionghua's tone that Shen Qionghua had something else to say to her.
She seemed to be suppressed by Shen Qionghua again...
She didn't say anything, and Shen Qionghua didn't rush to speak. She continued to talk to herself, "That's right, this is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and ordinary people really don't dare to go against you, the young lady of General Lin's Mansion. I'm afraid they won't even have time to hide..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"but……"
"But what?" Lin Xiyan asked subconsciously.
Shen Qionghua's lips curled slightly, "However, it would be different if the emperor came forward to support us."
"Lin Xiyan, guess what? In front of the emperor, are the common people afraid of offending you, the daughter of General Lin's mansion, or are they more afraid of losing their entire family's lives because of the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Lin Xiyan's whole body suddenly stiffened.
Does this need to be said?
The lives of the whole family must be at stake!
These lowly people were all as timid as mice. When they came before the emperor, under his pressure, they would probably tell him everything without the emperor even having to say a word.
But is she going to let them go like this?
She is not reconciled!
Why did they dare to be so arrogant after beating her?
Shen Qionghua looked at Lin Xiyan's stiff expression, chuckled, and said, "Well? Miss Lin, do you still want to go to the palace to ask the emperor to make a decision for you?"
"If you want, please do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient for the emperor to find someone when it gets dark."
"Shen Qionghua, you are so arrogant. Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on you when you have no one to rely on in the future?" Lin Xiyan said gritting her teeth.
Shen Qionghua sneered, "Miss Lin, now that you've said that, given your temper, you won't let me go."
"Since I can't escape, why don't I act arrogantly while I still can?"
“I only live in the present.”
