Chapter 240 - 240: The Confrontation in the Qian Qing Palace



Lin Ruhai wanted to say something, but he could not say a word.

He stared intently at Jiang Peihuan, “How… how did you know?”

“General Lin, It was extremely hard to keep any secret. There are few secrets in this world that remain unknown.”

“Han Feng, call Lin Xingchen over.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Nanye looked at Lin Ruhai, “Didn’t Lord Lin want to seek judgment from the emperor? Let’s go now.”

“Huan Er, I’ll leave you in charge of here.”

Xiao Nanye looked at Jian Peihuan and said softly.

If everything was entangled, Emperor Qi Ming would have other thoughts. So she decided to not involve in this matter.

She nodded and let her man sorted it out.

Then, Xiao Nanye rode on Zhui Yun and headed towards the palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

At Qianqing Palace.

“Your Majesty, His Highness King Cheng is here.”

Wang Kun made his report to Emperor Qi Ming

Upon hearing Wang Kun’s words, Emperor Qi Ming put down the pen in his hand and asked, “Why is he here again? What has he come for this time?”

“He seems to have some pressing matters to discuss, involving both Your Majesty and Lord Lin.”

Hearing this, a hint of curiosity appeared in Emperor Qi Ming’s eyes. “Lord Lin!? All right. Let them in.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Wang Kun went to the palace entrance and addressed Xiao Nanye, “Your Highness, the Emperor invites you in.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Nanye stepped into the Qianqing Palace.

Lin Ruhai had long forgotten the matter about the grain. At this moment, his full attention was on Lin Xingchen beside him.

Lin Xingchen exuded a cold aura. Following Xiao Nanye and then paid his respects.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“What is this about?”

Emperor Qi Ming spoke calmly. However, his gaze landed squarely on Xiao Nanye.

“Your Majesty, 1 beg for your intervention!”

Lin Ruhai recall the main reason for his visit.

Kneeling on the ground, he repeatedly begging and lamenting about Jiang Peihuan’s wrongdoings.

“Are you implying Jiang Peihuan stole the grain from your store to distribute porridge?”

“Yes, I beseech your Majesty to act justly.”

“Imperial brother, that grain has nothing to do with Huan Er. It was my decision”

“Moreover, 1 paid for them.” Xiao Nanye mentioned about the payment.

“Your Majesty, what King Cheng paid is far below from the market price. He…”

“Lord Lin, do you have the audacity to speak of your profiteering during a national crisis in front of my imperial brother?”

“What is going on here?”

Hearing the voices of the two, Emperor Qi Ming frowned. Lin Ruhai, who was beside him, was about to speak subconsciously, but before he could, Emperor Qi Ming said directly, “Shut up.”

After saying that, Emperor Qi Ming looked at Xiao Nanye and said, “Tell me what happened.”

“Imperial Brother, there are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city now. Many families in the city have started to give out porridge. But some unscrupulous shops have taken the opportunity to raise the price. Lord Lin is one of them.”

“Lin Ruhai, is this true?”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s allegations, Emperor Qi Ming’s questioned Lin Ruhai to explain his intention.

Lin Ruhai’s heart pounded wildly when he saw the expression of the Emperor “Your Majesty, I’m not the only one. All merchants in the market have increased their prices. I…”

“Explain to me why Liu family selling their grain at the usual price?”

“I…”

“It’s fine if you raise the grain price, business is about profit. But you actually sent people to the Liu family’s shop to buy as many as you could to monopolize the market. So you could control the price.”

Before Lin Ruhai could finish his sentence, Xiao Nanye interrupted him coldly,

Lin Ruhai’s eyes were filled with shock when he heard Xiao Nanye’s words. No one should have knew about this.

“Lin Ruhai, how dare you!”

Emperor Qi Ming looked at the person kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with anger.

“And who is this?”

Meanwhile, Emperor Qi Ming also saw Lin Xingchen.

“Imperial Brother, he is under my command, but he is also the only remaining descendant of the Lin family’s direct bloodline.”

“A direct descendant of the Lin family?”

“What is your name? How are you related to Lin Tianyang?”

“I am Lin Xingchen. Lin Tianyang is my father.”

“You’re Lin Tianyang’s son?”

“Raise your head.”

Upon Emperor Qi Ming’s command, Lin Xing Chen raised his head. Seeing his features, Emperor Qi Ming exclaimed, “The resemblance is uncanny.”

“If you are truly the son of Lin Tianyang, why have I never heard of you all these years?”

“Your Majesty, about that…”

“Silence! I didn’t ask you anything.”

Upon hearing the conversation between Emperor Qi Ming and Lin Xingchen, a look of urgency filled Lin Ruhai’s eyes on the side. He instinctively wanted to speak, but just as he opened his mouth, he was rebuked by Emperor Qi Ming.

“Your Majesty, when my father was gravely ill, Lord Lin took the opportunity to seize the Lin family’s property. My legitimate lineage dwindled from then on. As for myself, if not for the few loyal servants by my side, the direct line of the Lin family would have been extinct long ago.”

“You’re lying!”

Upon hearing Lin Xingchen’s words, Lin Ruohai couldn’t hold back any longer. Pointing at Lin Xingchen, he looked towards Emperor Qi Ming, saying anxiously, “Your Majesty, these are merely his one-sided words.”

“When my cousin was gravely ill years ago, I became the head of the Lin family because it was his dying wish.”

“All these years, 1 have always been looking for Xingchen, I…”

“You’ve indeed been looking for me. Your goal in looking for me is to eliminate me completely.”

“You… These are all your own words, do you have any evidence?”

“Lin Xingchen, I ask you, do you have evidence for what you’ve said?”

Upon hearing the two’s words, Emperor Qi Ming fell into silence. After a brief moment, he looked at Lin Xingchen and spoke.

In Emperor Qi Ming’s eyes, there was a mixture of emotions as he spoke.

“Your Majesty, 1 have no proof…”

“Your Majesty, I have evidence!”

At this moment, a voice from outside the hall echoed – it was Jiang Peihuan.

Upon hearing that voice, Emperor Qi Ming spoke directly, “Why is she everywhere? Wang Kun, go and let her in.”

“Yes.”

Wang Kun hurriedly walked to the entrance of the hall. Looking at Jiang Peihuan and Lin Mengxin standing there.

“Thank you, Chief Wang.”

Wang Kun smiled and said,” Miss, the Emperor is waiting for you.””

Jiang Peihuan glanced at Lin Mengxin and then brought her in together.

“We, Jiang Peihuan and Lin Mengxin greet your Majesty!”

Once inside, Jiang Peihuan immediately knelt in a gesture of respect.

“Why have you come here?”
