Chapter 284 I am not as vicious as you
Seeing that Lin was so stubborn, Mu Yanchen snorted coldly and said, "Lin Zelan, who are you trying to fool by saying this? Wasn't it you who captured and tortured Madam Su, the mother of Minister Su, a few days ago? If you dare to continue to deceive the emperor, don't blame me for immediately sending someone out of the palace to bring someone in to identify you!"
Lin didn't expect that he would suddenly bring up this. She subconsciously looked at Emperor Ting. When she saw him looking at her with a cold expression, she was so scared that her body went limp and she fell to the ground. She had been forced to kneel respectfully on the ground out of fear, but the wounds on her body that had just scabbed over opened again after falling, and fresh blood slowly soaked her coat.
She gasped in pain, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I didn't mean to lie. I have my own reasons. Please forgive me! I have indeed been to the house in the third lane, and I have seen many men there. They practice boxing in the mansion every day."
"Bold Lin, you dare to deceive me! Someone, drag her out and chop her up! If one person deceives the emperor, all nine clans will be punished. Go and arrest all the nine clans that are related to her and punish them together!"
Emperor Ting said the harshest words calmly. He didn't believe that the Lin family could withstand these blows.
As soon as these words fell, Lin felt no pain at all. She immediately struggled to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am willing to tell you everything I know. Please spare my family, please!"
"I can forgive you, but you must tell the truth about what you know! If you dare to lie even a word again, I will punish you and your nine clans with death." Emperor Ting said in a majestic voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will tell you the truth."
Lin stopped kowtowing. At this moment, she had already made a choice in her heart. She lowered her head as if admitting her fault. “I bought those warriors one by one a long time ago and trained them. It was mainly for the purpose that one day after their crimes were made public, they would be able to rescue me and protect my safety in the future.
Everything I said above is true. Please punish me and let my family go. They were all unaware and are innocent!"
"Okay, I can really spare your family. Since you have confessed your crime, then tell me where your warriors are hiding. If you can't find them, I have reason to believe that you sent these people to King Jing in the hope that he would protect your children. Is that right?"
In fact, Emperor Ting had a hunch that Lin was trying to defend the crime for his second son, so he deliberately deceived her.
"No, no, Your Majesty, I have told them that as long as I am away for three days, they will leave on their own and go wherever they want! I have been away for more than so many days now, I am afraid they have already left. If you want to find them, it will be difficult. Besides, I am just a woman after all. There are many things that I don't think about as carefully and in detail as men. I really don't know where they went! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Mu Yanchen thought what she said sounded like the truth. If he had not learned from Ji Yunchu that the person belonged to his second brother, he would have taken it seriously. He looked at his father and saw that he was angry but there was no way he could persuade him.
He looked closely at Lin, trying to find clues from her face, but she kept her head down, which meant she was planning to take the blame to the end. He could not let her succeed, so he immediately took out another bottle of refreshing water, strode to Ji Changfeng and fed the potion into his mouth.
Seeing this, Lin was so frightened that she forgot the pain and crawled towards them, crying, "Prince, please don't hurt him. What I said is all true. Please!"
Mu Yanchen stood up after feeding the potion and said coldly: "I am not as vicious as you. I want to kill everyone who stands in the way of your children!"
Lin's mind was on her son. She didn't listen to his words carefully, so she didn't react at all. She cried incoherently with shaking hands, "Feng'er, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I can't protect you. Wait for me. I'll be here to accompany you soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she bit her tongue hard, and a lot of blood flowed out of her mouth instantly. By the time Mu Yanchen reacted, she had already fainted.
It was Ji Changfeng who had just opened his eyes when he saw this scene. He was extremely heartbroken and cried out loudly: "Mom, mom, why are you so stupid? Why did you commit suicide?"
The Emperor, who was sitting in front of the dragon case, was also displeased when he heard this. "Come here, drag this criminal woman out to the execution ground and put her on display for three days. Let the people know what evil she has done to deserve such punishment from me!"
The imperial guards who had heard the summons at the beginning had already arrived at the door, so when they heard the summons again, they immediately walked into the imperial study to receive orders and quickly carried the person out.
Ji Changfeng, who had been crying loudly, looked up at them when he heard the cold voice. When he saw that it was Prince Chen and Emperor Ting, he immediately stopped crying, stood up with difficulty, knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
As he said this, his brain was already quickly processing what they had said to his mother before he woke up, and why his mother committed suicide?
