Chapter 324 Bai Zhaozhao actually disgusted him
Bai Lin said gratefully: "Your Majesty is wise! I have just sent someone home to get the box. It should be delivered later. Please verify it yourself, Your Majesty!"
"Good! Good!"
Emperor Yongkang was very happy, but in fact, he did not completely believe in the story of the goddess.
However, as for the matter in Yuzhou, he really needed the reputation of being blessed by the goddess, otherwise some evil cult organization among the people would definitely spread rumors that he had offended the heaven and that drought had been brought down upon him!
They would even ask him to issue a confession of guilt!
So he openly acknowledged the existence of the goddess and spread it widely.
After all, who can resist a god who has no desires or demands?
It’s different now!
Bai Lin told him that it was really a goddess! She also gave him a divine object that would never rust!
With this magical object, he wanted to see who would refute it.
Especially some surrounding countries, such as Liao, Jin, Goryeo, and the grasslands, they believe in gods even more. If they knew that Tianyuan Kingdom had this ironclad evidence, no one would act rashly!
The emperor was just feeling happy, but Bai Lin walked up to Zhong Jingyu's painting and asked, "Mr. Zhong, may I ask if the face of your painting of the goddess also has that kind of rare pigment?"
Zhong Jingyu hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and his brain was temporarily frozen: "What?"
Bai Lin smiled and said, "Nothing, Master Zhong has superb painting skills, I admire him!"
After saying this, Bai Lin returned to his seat.
Everyone:! ! !
Bai Zhaozhao:!!!
My brother, you are so good! You almost said that he faked the face of the goddess! But you said he has superb painting skills, which is full of irony!
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhong Jingyu. Others had proved that the goddess was real, but he couldn't prove that his painting was real.
This is the suspicion of fraud that Bai Lin mentioned at the beginning, right?
Of course, Bai Lin also couldn't prove that the painting was fake, so he planted a seed of doubt, making everyone think that the face in the painting was changed later.
Zhong Jingyu's face looked grim. Bai Lin actually had such preparations!
The master couldn't possibly lie to him!
Bai Zhaozhao is the one who pretends to be the goddess!
Emperor Yongkang knew that this farce should end, but thinking of Elder Zhong, he still waved his hand and said, "Come here, kick Zhong Jingyu out...!"
"Father!" Prince Tang Li had no choice but to plead, "The portrait is just a coincidence, why don't we..."
Emperor Yongkang winked, and Tang immediately understood. He looked at Bai Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaohe, Master Zhong just had a wrong idea for a moment. Please don't bother with him, okay?"
Zhong Jingyu was in despair. He knew that Bai Zhaozhao would not let him go and would definitely ask the emperor to expel him, ruining his reputation from then on! It would even affect his chances of taking the imperial examination next year!
"Okay!" Bai Zhaozhao looked at the nervous Crown Princess and said cheerfully, "Maybe in Master Zhong's eyes, a goddess should look like me! Alas, it's true that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, and Bai Zhaozhao was almost about to say directly that Zhong Jingyu liked her.
The Crown Princess also breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to love Bai Zhaozhao than to frame him.
There was a flash of shame and anger in Zhong Jingyu's eyes. Bai Zhaozhao actually disgusted him!
Bai Zhaozhao then said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors in the capital that I have a tough life. If I kill Master Zhong just because of the coincidence of the portrait, wouldn't that confirm the rumors?"
Everyone:...
Who said you wanted to beat someone to death?
The emperor clearly just wanted to drive him out, but the prince pleaded for mercy. Now he just wanted Bai Zhaozhao to give him a way out and give face to the Zhong family.
Tang Li was about to say something else when he heard Bai Zhaozhao say, "Your Highness, Zhaohe thinks it's better to beat him to death than to drive him out of the palace! Now that the sun has not set, let him go to the temple to pray for a talisman to bless him with safety. Otherwise, if he dies accidentally one day, it will have nothing to do with me!"
Everyone:...
Tang Li was slightly embarrassed. He knew that Bai Zhaozhao was reminding him of the amulet. She had done him a favor. Even though she had accepted his money, she was still a favor by saving his life!
So Tang Li shook his head at Zhong Jingting and remained silent.
Finally, Zhong Jingchen stood up and said, "What the county lady said is right. My brother turned hatred into love. He really deserves to die! Fortunately, the county lady is generous and doesn't bother with him! I will take him out of the palace and let him go home to reflect on his mistakes!"
Everyone: Well done! You are worthy of being the eldest son!
In just a few words, Zhong Jingchen characterized his brother's behavior as love turning into hate, which means he directly admitted that Zhong Jingyu had falsified the painting and slandered Bai Zhaozhao!
Taking him back to reflect on his mistakes was certainly better than letting him be driven out of the palace by the guards alone.
Bai Zhaozhao was very satisfied. Zhong Jingchen's reaction showed that he was very clear-headed. If he did not characterize Zhong Jingyu's behavior today as love turning into hate, then he was targeting Bai Lin and his career was worrying.
At this time, the Queen Mother spoke again: "Okay, okay, you just know how to waste my time. Whose gift is next?"
The official from the Ministry of Rites immediately took over and began to present the next gift.
Everyone quickly regained their peace, as if what had just happened was just a minor incident and no one cared.
To Bai Zhaozhao's surprise, Princess Qingyang did not plead with the Queen Mother at all. She just sat there quietly and even made a gesture to Bai Zhaozhao, saying, "Well done!"
It seems that Princess Qingyang really dislikes the people from the second house.
After the atmosphere calmed down, Tang Yanyan and Princess An began to whisper to Bai Zhaozhao, asking her whether Zhong Jingyu liked her.
Bai Zhaozhao’s answer was a toad.
After a while, Bai Zhaozhao said something to Princess An and quietly left the hall. She used her Qinggong skills to quickly rush to the palace gate, just in time to see Zhong Jingyu getting on the carriage.
Zhong Jingchen, who was about to get in the car, saw Bai Zhaozhao's figure, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What is the county lady doing..."
Bai Zhaozhao smiled faintly and said, "I just want to say something to Zhong Jingyu."
Zhong Jingchen nodded and walked away.
Zhong Jingyu in the carriage naturally heard Bai Zhaozhao's words. He lifted the curtain and said with an unpleasant expression: "Bai Zhaozhao, don't think you have won. I won't let you succeed!"
"Really?" Bai Zhaozhao no longer had the smile he had before, and said with a mocking look on his face, "Including sacrificing your future and dragging down your sister and your parents?"
Zhong Jingyu snorted coldly and said, "Bai Zhaozhao, put away your threats. You don't have the strength to make a move on our Zhong family!"
"Pfft!" Bai Zhaozhao sneered, "You are quite shameless. How can you have the nerve to think that the Zhong family will always protect you? As far as I know, there are many Zhong family members and the competition is fierce. You are lucky enough to be a direct descendant but you don't cherish it. Believe it or not, as long as you keep doing stupid things, you will be able to leave the Zhong family soon!"
"Oh, I don't believe it! Bai Zhaozhao, I'm going to make this clear today. We don't even know who the person who is being deserted by everyone is!"
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes sparkled after hearing this: "Oh, I never knew you hated me so much! You would rather be deserted by everyone than to deal with me! What? Did I dig up your ancestral grave?"
Zhong Jingyu was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was trying to stop you..."
"Stop me from what?" Bai Zhaozhao asked, "Stop me from harming you?"
Zhong Jingyu realized that every word Bai Zhaozhao said was to provoke him and then to trap him!
It’s so scary that Bai Zhaozhao has actually realized his hidden intention!
How did she find out?
