Chapter 1314: Another New Rumor
When she heard that the men who had raped the Ninth Princess were hooligans, and there were four of them, Consort Liu De felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief and an unacceptable sense of powerlessness.
How could there be such a rumor?
This was too ridiculous!
Her Ling 'er, her daughter, the royal princess, the ninth princess that the Emperor doted on the most, had only gone out of the palace once. How did she end up like this?
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly when she heard the rumors.
Why was there another wave of rumors not long after she entered the palace?
Also, how did the person who spread this rumor know that it was four local ruffians who raped Yuwen Ling?
Could it be that Wen Yujing sent someone to spread the news?
No, Wen Yujing wouldn't be so stupid.
Back then, she had arranged for people to spread the rumor that Jiang Zhennan had raped the Ninth Princess. Her goal was to prevent Jiang Zhennan from returning to the Duke's estate.
If she were found out, she would only be imprisoned for a few years. However, if she did spread this new rumor, it would be a crime of beheading and might even bring disaster to the entire Duke's estate!
Therefore, since Wen Yujing was excluded, there would be another group of people who knew the truth. And this person might have a grudge against Wen Yujing and the others.
But who could this person be?
Jiang Zhennan thought so too.
Before they entered the palace, they had already confirmed that the person who spread the rumors was from the Zhengguo Duke's Estate. Yuwen Ling had indeed been raped, and the person who raped Yuwen Ling had already been killed!
Because he and Yue 'er had no evidence, they pretended not to know that Yuwen Ling had lost her virginity.
However, under Consort Liu De's overbearing manner, when Yue 'er was about to make Yuwen Ling reveal the real culprit, a wave of rumors about the truth spread.
Therefore, it was most likely that the person who spread this rumor knew the truth!
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other and understood each other!
Consort Liu De suddenly grabbed the Emperor's clothes and pleaded," Your Majesty, you must find out who spread this ridiculous rumor! The person who spread this rumor was too vicious. Did he deliberately want Ling 'er to die? Your Majesty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the two of them looking at each other. They suddenly pointed at the two of them angrily and questioned sternly," It's you, it's you, right? Yes, it must be you. Because none of you wanted Ling 'er to marry into the General's Estate, you spread such rumors and completely destroyed Ling' er, right?"
As she said that, she immediately got up from the ground and grabbed Lin Yuelan's head in a desperate manner. It was obvious that she wanted to grab Lin Yuelan's hair. She cursed loudly," You vicious woman, I'll fight you to the death!"
Consort Liu's sudden outburst stunned everyone!
However, when Consort Liu pounced on her, Lin Yuelan turned her body to the side, causing her to miss. Then, she said to Consort Liu with a cold expression," Consort Liu, it seems that you need to calm down!"
As she spoke, Lin Yuelan stretched out two fingers and tapped Consort Liu's body twice.
Consort Liu's entire body was frozen. She could only move her eyes and speak.
When Consort Liu De felt that she couldn't move, she asked in both fear and anger," What did you do to me? Let go of me!"
Lin Yuelan said to Consort Liu De indifferently," Consort De, I've only touched two acupuncture points on your body. It can temporarily make you unable to move, and at the same time, let Consort De calm down!"
Consort Liu roared," Calm down? How can I calm down after you hurt my girl like that? Lin Yuelan, you vicious woman, this Majesty is telling you if anything happens to my Ling 'er, I'll take revenge on you even if I have to give it my all!"
Consort Liu De seemed to have completely lost her mind because of her love for her daughter. She pointed at Lin Yuelan and scolded her. She even addressed herself as " This Majesty " in front of Lin Yuelan as if she wanted to be superior to her.
Everyone's faces darkened.
Especially Lin Yuelan. It was clearly Yuwen Ling who wanted to be the third party and come between her and Jiang Zhennan. Now, it seemed as if she was the third party and had viciously broken them up.
Although Lin Yuelan was a magnanimous person, she was not a doormat.
