Chapter 88 The Herbalist is Charming (Eighty-Five)
"How dare you! How dare you neglect this prince!"
"Don't push me! I can walk by myself! How can I be slow?"
"Father! Father! They are so rude! Hurry and write a memorial to the Emperor to report them!"
The masters in the mansion were woken up and asked to leave their courtyards without waiting for them to pack up. Some of the masters did not even have time to comb their hair or put on their pearl hairpins.
Prince Lin's most beloved daughter was born to a concubine. She was woken up and brought to the front yard. When she saw her father, she asked him to punish the soldiers.
There was constant talking in the front hall. Some people did not dare to speak because they saw the situation was not good; however, some people who were favored by King Lin were still making a lot of noise.
"After we said goodbye at the palace banquet last year, I never expected to see Prince Lin again in such a situation."
There was a burst of laughter outside, and someone approached casually, glanced around at the people in the room, and finally looked at King Lin who was sitting at the top.
When Prince Lin saw this person, his guess was confirmed and his expression became a little gloomy.
"Who are you? How dare you disrespect my father?"
Prince Lin's beloved daughter stood beside Prince Lin and pointed at the man in brocade clothes and said.
The man just glanced at her and said with a smile, "Prince Lin, have you ever thought that there will be a day when your deeds will be exposed? Rebellion will bring disaster to your family."
Prince Lin argued cunningly, "I don't know what you are talking about. Why is the Prince of Zhenguo coming to my palace instead of staying in the capital? I haven't done anything."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the concubine hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand and stopped her from speaking.
When the leader of the Black Armor Guards saw that everyone was present, he said seriously:
"Sir, everyone has arrived. Those who attempted to resist outside have been apprehended, and some rebels have been executed."
King Lin's expression changed. No wonder no one came to rescue him for so long. Everyone was under their control!
They had planned it all along!
The man in brocade clothes nodded and said loudly, "Prince Lin is plotting a rebellion. The evidence is irrefutable. Arrest all the people in Prince Lin's mansion and throw them into jail."
Everyone cried out that they were innocent and did not want to be thrown into jail.
"I am the prince appointed by the late emperor himself, and the Empress Dowager is my mother. Who dares to touch me?"
Prince Lin refused to leave the palace, pointing at the Prince of Zhenguo and loudly scolding him for being rude and falsely accusing the royal family.
The man in brocade clothes flicked his sleeves, took the sealed box from the guard behind him, opened it and took out a bright yellow imperial edict.
The emperor's decree is here, so why should we resist? Moreover, the decree states that those who resist will be executed on the spot.
Prince Lin's heart was pounding. The Emperor knew! His cousin, the Emperor, knew! His father had rebelled, and his father was old. How many years could he remain Emperor? He had fantasized about becoming the next Emperor, but now his dream was shattered! What would happen to him? What would happen?
When Prince Lin thought of the fate of royal family members who rebelled in past dynasties, he broke out in a cold sweat and did not come to his senses until he was thrown into prison!
The women were horrified and cried uncontrollably.
The daughter of Prince Lin's favorite concubine stared blankly at her father and mother. Rebellion? Her father was the Grand Empress Dowager's legitimate son and the late emperor's younger brother. She was deeply saddened by the late emperor's untimely death and yearned for her cousin, the emperor. How could she possibly be plotting rebellion? Could Your Majesty have made a mistake?
Knowing that Prince Lin was planning a rebellion, the principal and concubine wives sat on the ground in despair.
They knew that the world had changed...
If they had known this day would come, they would have advised Prince Lin not to rebel when he attempted it, instead of thinking about becoming the Queen or Imperial Concubine, being blinded by vanity, agreeing with Prince Lin's actions, and allowing his ambition to expand to the point where he is now doomed!
They regret it so much!
Prince Lin sat on the cold bed in the prison, but he only regretted that he had made a wrong move and did not start the rebellion earlier!
Now, there is only one last move left!
He looked at the moon outside the hole in the cell wall, and became furious in his heart. If he was to be sentenced to death, the emperor would not be able to live either!
