Prince Pampers the Escaping Consort

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

If this zither skill could be called random playing, then no one in this world could be called someone who knew how to play the zither.

Just like that, a fight between the zither and the dance ended as Liu Zhixue fell to the ground.

Liu Zhixue sat on her seat, indignantly drinking her wine. Her limelight had been completely snatched away by Yan Xiaoxi, yet she had actually fallen down in shame. She had never been so embarrassed before in her life before.

"So hungry!" Yan Xiaoxi continued to eat.

Fortunately, her master had always loved to study these refined things and had forced her to learn the zither arts. This was the only reason why there was such a breathtaking scene.

After what had just happened, everyone present would glance over at Yan Xiaoxi from time to time, only to discover that she had been gobbling down food regardless of her appearance. It was as if she were a completely different person playing the zither from the one she was eating.

Of course, with the exception of Nangong Lin, none of Yan Xiaoxi's actions could escape his eyes. His gaze, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of the rest, always looking in the direction of Liu Zhixue.

It was late and the party was almost over.

Yan Xiaoxi was pretty much full as she had tried all of this food before. There was no poison, so she ate a lot without worrying. The only thing that she didn't eat was the chicken soup that Nangong Lin had Xiao Cui make in the royal kitchen.

This man had done it on purpose. He knew that the chicken had already been removed from her recipe, but he just had to cook it.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaoxi was filled with anger.

"This is it for today. Disperse." With that, Nangong Xiao stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a minister came out of his seat and knelt in the hall.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" The one who said this was Nangong Zhen, he exchanged a glance with President Xu.

Prince Xu's appearance caused Nangong Xiao to stop in her tracks. He asked with a dark expression, "What's the matter, Minister Xu?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has something to begin with." Minister Xu knelt on the ground, the imperial report already prepared in his hands.

"Today is the Crown Prince's birthday. If you have anything to say, say it before the court tomorrow morning." Nangong Xiao had long guessed that this matter had hidden secrets.

If it was a normal situation, no one would be stupid enough to report it at such a time, unless they wanted to die.

"Your majesty, this matter is of great importance. This subject had hesitated for a long time, but I still chose to speak of this matter now."

"Imperial Father, this son feels that it would be better to listen to what Minister Xu has to say." At this moment, Nangong Zhen stood up for President Xu.

Nangong Xiao frowned. She could roughly guess what was going on with the situation in front of her. Hence, she retreated back to her dragon throne and said solemnly, "A set performance."

"Your majesty, what this subject wants to say is that Prince Lin is colluding with another country with the intention of conspiring against us." The moment these words were spoken, the entire scene went into an uproar.

These words caused everyone to be shocked. How was it possible that Nangong Lin had betrayed them?

Not to mention the ministers present, even the commoners would not believe that Nangong Lin would collude with the enemy to sell out the country. This was simply nonsense.

"How dare you! Does Minister Lin know that slandering a prince is a crime that deserves to be punished?" Liu Zhitian shouted angrily.

"Of course I know." Minister Lin was quite confident.

"Minister Lin, words have no proof, do you have proof?" Nangong Zhen interrupted once again.

"I do."

"Present." Nangong Xiao glanced at Nangong Zhen.

As for Nangong Lin, from start to finish, he had acted as if nothing had happened. He did not say a single word, and his expression was very relaxed.

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.
