"Just wanted to remind His Majesty, since His Majesty doesn't want to pursue it, I won't ask further."
Lin Yifan didn't want to deal with these troubles; whether the other party lives or dies has nothing to do with him, as long as he gets the Clove Vine.
The Emperor of Tianng Country initially didn't want to pursue this matter, but Lin Yifan's reminder made him unable to swallow his anger.
If this issue isn't taught a lesson, it will happen again and again.
This ti, the young brother intervened for the Clove Vine; if he's poisoned again soday, he might not be saved. So he asked, "Who instructed Imperial Physician Zhao to poison ? Co forth! I will be lenient!"
With this question, the civil and military officials of the court were quite surprised. Could it be Imperial Physician Zhao wasn't the culprit after all, but soone else?
The Empress's face looked extrely unpleasant, feeling the Emperor's words were directed at her.
However, Imperial Physician Zhao hadn't confessed to the mastermind behind it, and the Emperor was only speculating. As long as she didn't admit to anything, she would be fine, so she cald down and remained still.
More than a minute passed without anyone stepping forward to admit, and the Emperor beca angry.
He hated those who dare act but don't dare confess, so he asked Lin Yifan, "Young brother, who do you think here seems most like the culprit?"
Lin Yifan glanced around, saw Zhang Yaoyao and Hongniang, and had an idea, cunningly saying, "Of course it's those two deeply scheming won, especially the lady in red."
"Evil scoundrel, stop talking nonsense!"
Zhang Yaoyao was furious with embarrassnt.
Lin Yifan was indeed ruthless, wanting to drag them into trouble to have the Emperor of Tianng Country kill them.
"Imperial Physician Zhao was executed, and you showed no surprise, feeling quite pleased. If not you, then who?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"There are many people here feeling pleased, why don't you suspect them?" Zhang Yaoyao questioned.
"Is that so? Then find a few for to see?" Lin Yifan asked with a smile.
The civil and military officials of the court instantly had grim faces, daring not to show a trace of a smile, fearing to be wrongfully implicated.
Seeing each face looking sullen and cowardly, Zhang Yaoyao felt disheartened.
Clearly, these people were hiding their thoughts, not wanting to be in any way linked to this matter.
Faced with the situation, Zhang Yaoyao could only ask, "We don't have any ties to His Majesty, why would we want to poison him?"
"Who knows whom you wish to support as the Crown Prince."
Lin Yifan revealed the biggest motive behind the case, making all involved civil and military officials, concubines, eunuchs, and guards tremble.
Too frightening, too frightening, how did this kid connect this matter?
With the ntion of "Crown Prince," everyone pointed their finger at the Empress and the Crown Prince.
As is well known, the Emperor has always favored the Fourth Prince, and has ntioned to many ministers his intentions to make the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince, making the Crown Prince indeed have a motive to act.
Because the throne should have belonged to him, now it has beco soone else's; how could he swallow this?
The Emperor of Tianng Country was also startled in his heart.
Though he had suspected the culprit was this mother and son duo, he couldn't bring himself to believe it.
Having shared the bed for so many years, the Empress should not have poisoned him.
Looking at where Zhang Yaoyao and Hongniang stood, behind the Empress, the Emperor of Tianng Country grew more suspicious of the Empress.
Pointed at along with his mother and friend, the Crown Prince couldn't swallow this anger and accused, "Evil scoundrel, stop framing us! The matter of the Crown Prince is entirely up to Father to decide; I will not interfere or utter any complaints."
"That's you, but doesn't an others are willing to see such an outco, right?" Lin Yifan asked.
The Empress was startled, glaring coldly at Lin Yifan.
This man looked ordinary but could speculate so much; not knowing who's behind him.
If the Emperor weren't here, she would definitely have soone kill Lin Yifan.
However, since the other guessed that the culprit was soone else, it seed not to pose a great threat to her, so she felt relieved.
"You're talking nonsense! Who dares to be so brazen?" questioned the Crown Prince.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense can be found out with an investigation!" Lin Yifan confidently replied.
"You two, are you colluding with the Crown Prince?"
The Emperor of Tianng Country truly wanted to know the answer and thus questioned Zhang Yaoyao and Hongniang.
"Your Majesty, no, we were just with the Crown Prince a few days ago; we absolutely didn't interfere with the Crown Prince's establishnt."
Compared to Zhang Yaoyao's panic, Hongniang appeared much more composed and assertive: "Emperor of Tianng Country, if I really wanted to intervene in this matter, I fear you wouldn't be able to control it."
"Such bold words, who do you think you are?" The Emperor of Tianng Country coldly snorted, already having the thought of slapping Hongniang to death.
"I only have this Waist Token. If you recognize it, you do; if not, I can't help it. But, if I sacrifice my life in your Imperial Palace, your Tianng Country will be razed to the ground, never to exist."
The lady in red took out her exclusive Waist Token and displayed it to the audience.
Seeing this Waist Token, the Emperor of Tianng Country was greatly shocked.
Because this was the Waist Token of a disciple from an unrivaled Great Palace Gate, aning this lady was a disciple of this Great Palace Gate.
This Great Palace Gate is powerful, and a random excellent disciple can dominate and devastate the World of All Things.
He was sowhat afraid to act against this odious woman now.
But it was just a token, and major figures above the Profound Immortal Fifth Realm find it difficult to descend, so even if he offends this lady, what of it?
Of course, he wouldn't act rashly, as long as the other party doesn't act arrogantly or seek death, he wouldn't pay attention to her.
Seeing the frightened expression of the Emperor of Tianng Country, Hongniang was a bit pleased.
Initially, she thought the other party didn't recognize her sect, hence wanting to return and ask sect masters for help; now these troubles could be greatly spared.
Others were a bit perplexed, not knowing why the Emperor was so shocked. Could it be that this palace gate is so powerful, even a country cannot rival?
Zhang Yaoyao had never heard of this palace gate, so she was quite curious about Hongniang's identity and the enormous backing.
On the other side, the three words "Ghost Palace of Gen" were imprinted in Lin Yifan's mind.
He wasn't unfamiliar with it; in the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor's books, this Great Palace Gate was recorded.
This palace gate is one of the Eight Great Palace Gates of the Land of the Eight Trigrams, far beyond comparison with so small, insignificant palace gates.
This odious woman is surrounded by masters, presumably holding a high status within the palace gate.
He felt he had t a formidable foe but didn't mind, as high-dinsional world characters can't reach into the World of All Things.
The Empress felt she had seen a substantial backing; this woman has affection for her son, and if they got married, even if sothing ca to light, the Emperor wouldn't kill her son; besides, she might be able to support her son ascending to power.
Nevertheless, divine authority cannot be provoked.
