Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 440 Take a step by step

Even so, he was still stubborn: "What do you think, just by yourself, you can do to me? Do you know what the crime of murdering the prince is?"

He Jiuniang blinked innocently and said, "Who said I came to murder you? I was just entrusted by His Highness King Chen to treat you."

Prince Lin has a special status, and He Jiuniang is not so ignorant that she wants to kill him now.

It's easy to kill him now, but it will cause a lot of trouble for your family later on, so you still have to think twice before doing so.

Hearing what she said, Prince Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that she was going to take his own life today, but now it seems that she really didn't dare to do it to him easily.

As long as he could hold on for the time being, there was nothing he could do about it.

"This king is very good, you don't need to worry about me."

He snorted coldly, but his confidence was actually a bit lacking.

He has always been afraid of this woman.

Lu Baichuan said: "I see that Your Highness is indeed fine, so I will go back to ensure that His Highness is safe, otherwise our Highness will always be worried about you."

The main purpose of coming today was to see if King Lin was actually Lin Yiping. Now that his identity was confirmed, there was no need for them to stay any longer.

Before leaving, He Jiuniang kindly reminded: "That mask is impregnated with poison. Your Highness, King Chen, can no longer wear it, otherwise he will die inexplicably, and I will be sad."

She would be heartbroken if she died too easily.

Prince Lin's body stiffened for a moment, and he glared at He Jiu Niang angrily, wishing to poke a hole in her whole body.

After a long while, he asked: "How much benefit has King Chen given you? I will give you double it!"

"Huh!"

He Jiuniang really didn't expect him to say such a thing, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why, His Highness wants to bribe us? Do you think we are short of money?"

"Isn't it true? Your family comes from a humble background. Aren't you following King Chen just to get ahead? I can give you all those things!"

Prince Lin felt that what he said was right. Their family had to rely on business to support themselves. How could such a public life be compared to enjoying the happiness of living with him?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the first time I've seen someone act softly and forcefully! While asking for help, he also said that we came from a humble background. How humble? What kind of humble method? In other words, how can you How can you be so noble? No matter how noble you are, you still don’t want to look at my face, my aunt, or beg me to do something for you.”

He Jiuniang twitched the corners of her lips and responded unceremoniously.

"vulgar!"

Prince Lin couldn't bear it anymore and was beginning to lose control of his emotions. If he hadn't been supported by his subordinates, he might have been unable to control himself and rushed forward.

"No matter how vulgar it is, it is much better than His Highness being duplicitous. Farewell!"

Lu Baichuan gave King Lin a cold look, full of warning, and then pulled He Jiuniang away.

Even if they come from a humble background, if they ask themselves, they have never done anything to disgrace anyone, and if they behave upright, they will naturally not be afraid of being looked down upon by anyone.Prince Lin didn't say anything, gritted his teeth and watched them leave.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

The people around him looked at him timidly. His Highness was already so angry before they came. What's more, now that his true identity has been exposed, how should His Highness go forward?
"You ask me what to do, how do I know!"

Prince Lin threw the long sword on the ground. The funny thing is that he actually wanted to run away just now. He was the prince, how could he do such a shameful thing?
Over the years, he had put a lot of effort into pretending to be an idle prince who had no interest in government affairs, so that everyone could relax their hostility and surveillance of him. He even used the identity of Lin Yiping to do many things.

He thought things would develop so smoothly, but he didn't expect that he would meet He Jiuniang in Jingzhou.

It's just acquaintance, he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, and that's why he got himself into so much trouble.

He knew the cause and effect clearly, but he just didn't want to admit that it was all his fault.

The matter has reached this point, and there is no way to undo it. We can only take one step at a time.

On the way back, He Jiuniang asked belatedly: "I've revealed his identity now, won't it have any impact?"

There was nothing she could do, she just wanted to go back so much. During this time, she could always dream about the dog, and she really missed him.

"Yes, but it's not a big deal. It may even speed up the development of the situation."

Lu Baichuan nodded. Not to mention He Jiu Niang, even he wanted to go back early. However, Prince Lin was the prince after all, so he could not be removed so easily. Moreover, when removing him, he had to ensure that Prince Chen's status could not be shaken. .

The old emperor had always disliked King Chen. If Prince Lin's incident was to be blamed on him, then their busy schedule would be to make wedding clothes for the prince.

"Well, that's fine." He Jiu Niang also felt that this shouldn't be a big deal, but she still said, "You can find a way to reveal this news to Prince Jing and let Prince Jing talk to him. The snipe and the clam are fighting over each other, so the fisherman gets the benefit. Now that it’s been put on the table, it’s much more convenient than before.”

Lu Baichuan sent her home and went to Prince Chen's Mansion to inform Prince Chen of the matter. Prince Chen looked very unhappy when he learned that everything they had guessed before was true.

"This fifth child is getting more and more outrageous. He actually colluded with Dongting. Is it because he thinks Beiyan is not chaotic enough?"

Lin Yiping must have been involved in the Daoping incident that happened before, but so far, they have no actual evidence, otherwise they could directly convict King Lin.

King Chen was angry that he had collaborated with foreigners to kill people in order to fight for power. The person who was killed was their father. This was simply treason!
"Your Highness, please calm down. I have sent people to investigate the relationship between Prince Lin and the Dongting people. He has always presented himself as Lin Yiping before, so he must have left some clues. It should be easier to find out."

Lu Baichuan continued very rationally: "If he really has contact with Dongting, His Highness should make preparations in advance."

This was said in a semi-cryptic manner, but King Chen understood it clearly and said, "Don't worry, if there is really evidence pointing to him, I will never tolerate it."

After all, these are his half-brothers, and he is unwilling to make too much trouble unless it is absolutely necessary. However, this matter is not simple and must be handled with caution.

"Your Highness is wise."

Lu Baichuan made a report, went to the Yamen for a walk, and then went home to accompany his wife. His wife loves shopping these days, and he can gain some knowledge by accompanying him when shopping. At the same time, he also knows what his wife likes and doesn't like. He will think about it in the future. Don’t worry about buying her a gift.

That night, Prince Lin came back from the other courtyard, and not long after, he entered the palace overnight.
