Chapter 144: Speak with facts, who dares to question you?
Lin Yue sat in the carriage, and all the words coming from outside fell into her ears.
An Jinyue and several children were also in the car. The people were talking loudly as they walked, and their faces did not look very good.
It was Lin Yue who suddenly said something to the outside.
"Oh my god! How dare you look at that!"
Someone replied immediately.
"There are so many people here, what are you afraid of? How dare she kill someone in the street!"
The people who are talking probably don't know who is talking and who is listening. Since everyone is talking, who cares who is talking? They just watch the fun!
"It's heavily guarded over there, we can't get through. Even the street ahead is blocked off!"
"Then let's just wait outside. She'll come out eventually, right? How pitiful! Such a little child, how could she survive if her heart was dug out?"
"That's our little princess!"
"I heard that the little princess has a serious illness and I'm afraid she won't live forever!"
"You can't let someone rip out your heart!"
The voices of discussion gradually faded away, and the carriage had already entered the main street in front of Prince Chen's Mansion.
"Ayue..."
"Mother..."
An Jinyue and several children were very worried. The news flying around was not a good thing!
Sure enough, before they even stepped into the palace, a group of imperial guards came galloping in! Leading the way was a man who looked like a leader. He looked around and set his sights on Lin Yue and the others.
"Which doctor is going to perform the thoracotomy today?"
Lin Yue took a step forward.
"I am!"
"Hmph! What kind of charlatan dares to come to the capital and act wildly, deceiving the Crown Prince! Come on! Take him away. Anyone who disobeys will be shot on the spot!"
"and many more!"
Crown Prince Gao Changjun and Fan Haihua walked out of the mansion together!
"Li Jin! I am here, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"
"Your Highness!"
Li Jin, along with a group of imperial guards, saluted the prince on horseback without dismounting, and directly conveyed the emperor's oral instructions.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the Crown Prince has been bewitched by a witch! She is attempting to frame the royal heir. His orders must not be obeyed!"
As soon as Li Jin finished speaking, Gao Changjun and his wife's expressions did not change at all!
"Let's see who dares!"
Fan Haihua pulled out a long sword from the guard at the gate, swung it, and with a "ding" sound, it hit the ground in front of Li Jin's horse. The sword pierced straight into the blue brick floor, and it was obvious that the force was so great that the tail of the sword was still shaking.
On the other side, the people around Fan Haihua had already brought Lin Yue and others into the mansion and left.
"Will they be okay?"
Lin Yue was a little worried. She had never expected an operation to become so complicated! If the emperor intervened, would the prince and his wife be able to stop it?
If Li Jin was really sent by the emperor, even if Gao Changjun was the crown prince, it would probably not be a good thing to openly disobey the emperor's order.
An Jinyue was unusually calm at this time.
"Ayue, as long as you save Mr. Fan and the young princess, and speak with facts, who would dare to question you?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Yes! My most important task right now is to perform surgery.
Strength proves everything!
Li Jin watched helplessly as the man entered the mansion, but he could do nothing.
With the Crown Prince in front, the Crown Princess eyeing him covetously, and the Eastern Palace guards ready to strike, how could he dare to snatch her away?
Even with the emperor's oral order, he didn't dare to confront the prince openly!
"The Queen is here!"
Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a clear voice was heard.
The queen is here!
The queen, who usually never leaves the palace, actually left the palace!
With the arrival of the queen, Li Jin became even more passive!
"What's going on? Li Jin, you actually dared to bring people here to arrest someone openly? Do you still have the prince in your eyes?"
"Your Majesty, I have come here on Your Majesty's orders to capture this evil woman! She has already entered the palace! She may be killing people and ripping out their hearts! Your Majesty, if we don't stop her, I'm afraid disaster will ensue!"
Li Jin knelt on the ground and argued.
"I just came from His Majesty's place, but I haven't heard any instructions. Li Jin, you should think it over carefully before you speak!"
The queen's words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
This clearly tells him why the emperor did not issue an explicit decree but gave him an oral order. This in itself is problematic. No matter whether the queen came from the emperor or whether there was an oral order, it is not important. What is important is that he is in conflict with the prince, and the disparity in their status has destined him to be a cannon fodder!
Li Jin knew very well that the Queen would not stand on his side, even if he counted the Emperor's trust. They could be husband and wife, father and son, but he was not a mere imperial guard.
Even if they went to confront His Majesty together, he might still be the loser.
The Queen has made it so clear. If Your Majesty had taken the relationship between father and son, monarch and minister into consideration, there would have been no such thing as an oral order.
Li Jin's mind was racing. Obeying the order could lead to death, and disobeying it would be the same. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this was a dead end.
He secretly groaned in his heart. The emperor did not actually give the imperial edict in person, but it was conveyed by the eunuch Gao beside him, although it was impossible for eunuch Gao to falsely convey the imperial edict.
How should he resolve this deadlock?
The Queen had already entered the palace with the Prince and his wife.
"What are you up to? Why are you making such a fuss?! Do you know that this matter has caused a huge uproar in the capital? His Majesty will not sit idly by! He asked Li to come in today just to test your attitude! And you actually confronted him openly!"
As soon as she sat down, the queen dismissed her attendants and scolded them harshly.
"Mother, you know Yan'er's illness. If I don't take a gamble this time, I'm afraid there will be no hope in this life! I just hope she can be like a normal person..."
Gao Changjun stepped forward and knelt silently on the ground, with a calm and resolute look. At this time, it was not appropriate for Fan Haihua to speak. She just knelt obediently beside the prince and let the queen lose her temper. Gao Changjun would deal with it.
"So you're willing to risk everything?"
The queen's eyes were full of indifference. Perhaps in her eyes, Gao Yan was nothing. Although she was her granddaughter, she could have many healthy and lively granddaughters!
"Not all of them. As the crown prince of a country, if I can't even help my own daughter's illness and have to watch her pass away, how can I still be a qualified father? Mother, do you dare to recognize such a son?"
Gao Changjun's face was filled with deep sadness.
The Queen saw it all and still felt a little bit sorry for him. She didn't really mean to scold him, but the situation had become so big that it wasn't good for him. He might be scolded and confined to his house like last time. She really didn't want to go through that kind of fear again!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the Crown Princess. She was satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Although her family was not very supportive, she herself was smart and clever, and the Fan family was not completely useless. At least, after today, the Fan family would be of great use.
