Chapter 356
The first thing Lin Gedi did when she woke up was to file a complaint with the emperor.
In the imperial study, Ling Gedi cried and said, "Your Majesty, please help me. The Regent Princess is like a robber. She has taken away all the valuables in my storehouse."
The emperor frowned and said, "Eunuch Chang, go out of the palace and find out what's going on."
"Yes"
Ling Geti felt a little uneasy. The Emperor actually sent Eunuch Chang to inquire instead of making a direct judgment. Given the Emperor's usual attitude towards the Regent, shouldn't he directly cause trouble for the Regent's Palace because of this matter?
Ling Ge was feeling uneasy, not understanding the Emperor's recent attitude towards the Regent.
"Lord Lin, please get up first. Wait for Eunuch Chang to find out the news and come back to tell me what the situation is. Then I can make a decision for you," the emperor said.
"Yes." Ling Ge stood up and sat in a corner, thinking about this and that anxiously.
At this time, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded outside the imperial study, "Major General Yun wants to see you!"
The Emperor paused as he was reading the memorial. He had heard about the events at the Yun Mansion these days and was also very angry. However, the Regent had already come forward and said that if the real murderer was caught within ten days, he would give an explanation to the Yun Mansion. That was why he did not come forward to summon the Regent's wife.
Now that Yun Shen came to the palace to ask for an audience, he didn’t need to think, he knew why!
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Send it."
After Yun Shen came in, he knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor looked at Yun Shen and said, "Major General Yun, stand up and speak."
Yun Shen kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I want to sue the Regent Princess for murdering my father. My father's body is still in Shuntian Prefecture and has not yet been buried."
The emperor said, "The regent has promised to catch the real murderer within ten days and give your Yun Mansion an explanation. Your Yun Mansion has also agreed. What's going on now?"
Yun Shen's eyes were red as he said: "Your Majesty, nine days have passed, and the Regent's Palace has still not taken any action."
"The Prince Regent has arrived!"
At this time, the eunuch's loud voice was heard outside.
Yun Shen's body stiffened and he turned around dumbly, only to see Mo Shaoxie striding in.
Mo Shaoxie nodded to the emperor.
Linggedi felt worse and worse, and knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Regent."
Mo Shaoxie didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Lord Lin, Major General Yun, I heard that the two of you came to the palace one after another, both to file a complaint? Sue my princess?"
Both of them froze and knelt on the ground, their bodies still shaking.
Mo Shaoxie snorted lightly and the emperor's mouth twitched. These two were talking freely in front of him just now, but why didn't they dare to say a word in front of the regent?
The emperor was also a little annoyed. This was one of the reasons why he disliked Mo Shaoxie and wanted to get rid of him. The emperor had a dark face as he looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Linggedi and Yunshen noticed the emperor's gloomy gaze and thought: This is bad.
Mo Shaoxie sat down on a chair beside him without any scruples, and said coldly: "I just came back and heard that your Lin Mansion sent guards to assassinate my princess?"
Linggedi shouted loudly: "It's unfair, Regent, please investigate clearly. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to send people to assassinate the Regent's wife."
"Oh? That guard isn't from your Lin Mansion?"
"This, this..." Lingge hesitated and couldn't speak.
The emperor looked at this scene, what else did he not understand? It turned out that the guards of the Lin Mansion were indeed the ones who assassinated the Regent Princess, and were caught by someone, and the valuables in the Lin Mansion's warehouse were moved away. Even so, they still had the nerve to come and complain to him?
At this time, Eunuch Chang also came back. He bowed to Mo Shaoxie, then bent over and walked to the emperor's side. He whispered a few words to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor was furious. He also knew that the Lin and Ruan families were related by marriage. Since your Lin family gave Ruan Feiyin guards and took revenge on the Regent Princess, you said you would take revenge, but you were caught on the spot. Now you still have the nerve to complain?
The emperor said angrily, "Lin Gedi, your Lin Mansion sent someone to assassinate the Regent Princess. The evidence is irrefutable. The Regent Princess does not hold your Lin Mansion responsible, but only demands compensation. You also promised that as long as the Regent Princess likes something in the Lin Mansion's warehouse, she can take it away. What kind of complaint are you making now?"
Lin Geti was also in deep pain, he didn't expect that the Regent Princess would move out all the valuables from the Lin Mansion's storehouse!
When the Emperor heard the news from Eunuch Chang that the Regent Princess had used the money from the Lin Mansion to buy food, cloth and other supplies, and sent them outside the city to the homeless people, the Emperor was very satisfied with Shangguan Ziling's behavior, so he would not make decisions for the Lin Mansion anymore.
A few days ago, when he went to court, he learned that many people had gathered outside the city. There were so many officials in the court, but they all said they were poor. They were afraid that he would ask them for money, so they kept silent.
Now, Shangguan Ziling's action has solved his troubles. The emperor even wants Shangguan Ziling to go to the warehouses of those ministers' mansions and take a look at them one by one.
