Chapter 81 Don't lie to me

As Lin Wancheng said, the fifth prince came to her not long after returning to the palace.

Lin Wancheng has lifted his confinement, Qingya Pavilion has returned to its former appearance, and everyone is free to enter and exit.

Because everyone knows that Princess Mingyang was suspended because she had a deep love between her and her fifth prince and took a risk to visit the fifth prince at Dali Temple.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for the fifth prince to clear his suspicion and return to the palace to visit Princess Mingyang.

No one doubts anything, it makes sense.

The fifth prince swaggered into Qingya Pavilion, and Lin Wancheng was having dinner at that time.

After hearing the notification from the little eunuch outside, she sighed, "What should be coming will always come."

As she said that, she got up to greet her.

"Fifth Brother." She gave a blessing, her simple white face was not covered with makeup, and there was a hazy beauty under the faint light.

The fifth prince withdrew his gaze and asked her to get up, "When I'm using dinner? It seems that I'm doing it very well."

Lin Wancheng laughed and asked someone to add dishes and chopsticks, "Don't dislike Fifth Brother."

After the two of them took their seats, Lin Wancheng dismissed the palace maid.

"Fifth brother is suffering." Lin Wancheng served him a bowl of soup.

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Do you dare to say this with your conscience?"

"Uh." Lin Wancheng was already used to being criticized by him, so he was not angry.

After handing the soup over, she put it directly in front of him, regardless of whether he wanted it or not. She took her hand back, and sat upright, looking at him with bright eyes: "What's wrong with what I said?"

"You have been in Dali Temple for so long, but you are suffering."

"You don't know. My adopted father and I are anxious and have been trying to find a way to save you."

"Swish." The fifth prince didn't believe her nonsense.

From the very beginning, he understood that Lin Wancheng was definitely not as simple and harmless as Wei Xiang said.

This is also the same, just talking to people when they see others, and talking to ghosts.

If you mix the truth and falsehood, you can only listen to it in three parts.

"Eat more and eat more." Lin Wancheng smiled flatteringly.

The fifth prince picked up the chopsticks and tasted a dish, but did not continue to eat it.

He was in poor health and had just returned from Dali Temple and had no appetite at all.

However, Lin Wancheng gave him the soup, and he drank it with great relief.

"I heard that Princess Yun'an bought the murderer and framed him for you." Lin Wancheng chatted with him.

"Yes." The fifth prince responded and said nothing.

Lin Wancheng was curious, "Why? Why did she still attack you after she left the palace?"

"How do I know?" The fifth prince said in a bad tone. "She was just a brainless thing, but he knew what she was thinking all day long."

Lin Wancheng nodded in agreement, and after a while, he asked again: "Then is she locked in Dali Temple now?"

The fifth prince glanced at her, and the answer was self-evident.

"Then, the emperor probably won't let her go, right?"

"It's hard to say."

Hearing this, Lin Wancheng sat up straight and frowned and asked:

"Why?"

They have already bought and killed Shangshu's daughter and framed the prince.

The emperor must not be able to continue to be kind. It is unreasonable to not kill the nine clans.

"The Empress Dowager's side is a hurdle."

"Ah..." Lin Wancheng almost forgot about the empress dowager.

"But it was understandable that the Empress Dowager helped to plead for mercy last time. If she continues to cover up this time, it will be difficult to convince everyone. Especially the Minister of Revenue."

"The Empress Dowager likes Yun'an very much, otherwise do you think Yun'an has the confidence to be proud of her in the palace for so many years? On the one hand, it is because of her father's generation."

"I guess I won't be executed, at most I'll be driven out of the capital."

"...what is the difference between saying that she was married not long ago."

The fifth prince put down the spoon, wiped the corner of his mouth, and spoke in a slight manner: "It's best to send her out of Beijing, it's my wish."

"Why??" Lin Wancheng was puzzled.

The fifth prince is not a good person to talk to.

The other party provoked him and repeatedly provoked him. Can he let him go so smoothly?

This is not like the style of the fifth prince.

"She was still in the capital for a day and there was a layer of protective umbrella. But as long as she left the capital, what went wrong on the road, whether it was dead or alive, I'll just say it."

It can be said that I encountered bandits on this road and was robbed.

Even if he dies and asks for guilt, who can find out his head?

So he is now looking forward to Yun'an being sent out of the capital. As long as he leaves the capital, his life will be completely in his hands.

"Ah." Lin Wancheng suddenly realized.

She knew that this person would not give up.

As expected.

——

Not long after, the fifth prince asked about the purpose of the trip: "Your last time you were sick, were you?"

“…”

Lin Wancheng was prepared, "I went to pay tribute to the emperor that day. When I first arrived, I was stopped by Eunuch Wang. He said that Doctor Li was treating the emperor inside, and it was inconvenient for me to go in."

"I waited outside for a while. After Doctor Li came out, he said that the emperor was fine and he was already asleep. Then he and Eunuch Wang walked outside and whispered, and I didn't know exactly what he said."

"Later I asked the prince, and he just said that the emperor was worried and it would be fine if he applied the needle. He told me to go back first and come back later when the emperor woke up."

"I heard in the evening that the emperor woke up, but the empress dowager was there, so I didn't go."

Lin Wancheng said this without any loss.

Anyway, there are not many people who know the truth. Doctor Li is very strict and cannot pry anyone. Not to mention Eunuch Wang.

As for whether the Empress Dowager knew about this, she didn't know.

After listening to her words patiently, the fifth prince wandered on her face and said no.

Lin Wancheng pretended to be calm and looked at him openly, without avoiding or retreating: "That's it, what else do you want to ask?"

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask my adoptive father. He has many eyes in this palace, and must have known more than I do."

After a long eye contact.

The fifth prince finally spoke, his voice was neither slow nor slow, but there was a hint of danger: "Lin Wancheng, you'd better not lie to me."

"Hmm?" Lin Wancheng pretended to be ignorant, "What am I lying to you? I'm still waiting for you to take me to Jiangnan for retirement."

"I really don't want to stay in the palace?"

Lin Wancheng shook his head, "I don't want to."

"I just want to go to Jiangnan. Give me more silver. I can open a shop to support myself in the past. I don't want anything else."

"Why is it Jiangnan?" The fifth prince, like Xiao Jingyan, was very obsessed with this issue.

"No reason."

"I just think the scenery over there is pleasant and suitable for retirement. You also know me. My adoptive father wants to train me to be a killer, but I am not good at it and can't learn anything well. So whether I can live well in this palace is a question."
