Chapter 38: House Arrest
"Stop talking! He's already this old, and you still treat him like a child? If you had disciplined him strictly since he was young, how could we have reached this situation today? If I tell you to back off, then back off!"
Liu Qimei discovered that King Jingyin was really furious this time. Although she didn't know the reason, she didn't dare to say anything more. So she obeyed the order and went out. However, she was still worried that Zhaolin would be punished by King Jingyin.
Zhao Lin was rarely beaten or scolded by King Jingyin since he was a child. This time it was a sudden incident. He felt quite unfair, thinking that he had just said a few words and had not done anything wrong. Although he was a little afraid in his heart, there was still some resentment in his eyes when he looked at King Jingyin, and King Jingyin saw through this resentment at a glance.
"What? You blame me?" King Jingyin stared at Zhao Lin and said.
"Son... I just said to wait three days to see the effect..."
"That Chen Woyin is a traitor! He took advantage of your feelings for Yun Keyu to lure you to Jiulan Mountain. He was coming for me! You don't know the truth and yet you still believe him!" King Jingyin said angrily.
"What? He told me about Di Hu Hua in order to lure me into a trap?"
"Hey! Why don't you understand? He is in the same group with You Wangnian and the others - the men in black who kidnapped you!"
"Ah?" Zhao Lin felt as if he had been hit by a hammer in his heart, but what he was thinking was, if it was really as his father said, then there would be no hope at all for the soup made from the Dihu flowers to work?
"He has learned everything about the palace. He has colluded with my enemies to lure you out of the palace and take you hostage. He is threatening me to get you back!" King Jingyin became more and more angry as he spoke.
Zhao Lin suddenly realized that he had lived in the palace for so long and had not paid attention to the intrigues in the palace, let alone the collusion between the palace and outsiders? Only then did he realize that he had been involved in a scam a long time ago. He was really lucky to come back safely this time!
"Father, how do you know all this?" Zhao Lin asked.
"That Luo Xu refused to confess at first, but after being tortured, he confessed everything!"
"But is what he said necessarily true?" Zhao Lin asked, "Could he be framing Chen... Chen Woyin?" Zhao Lin really hoped that Chen Woyin was framed. At this time, he still had illusions about Di Huhua.
"What's wrong with you? Have you been possessed by his evil spirit? Let me tell you, what Luoxu confessed about the several conspiracies planned by Chen Woyin after he came to the palace have all been confirmed by the strange things that happened in the palace!" After saying that, King Jingyin told Zhao Lin the reasons for the strange things that had happened in the palace before.
The more Zhao Lin listened, the more shocked he became. His heart gradually sank. Although he no longer believed in Chen Woyin, he still had a last glimmer of fantasy about Di Huhua. He was unwilling to let this bubble of fantasy burst like this. His previous expectations were too high. He really didn't want the Di Huhua incident to be a scam. He said, "I'll go find Chen Woyin and ask him clearly!"
"His conspiracy has been exposed, and you are still going to look for him? No! For three days, you must stay in your room and not go anywhere!" As he said that, he ordered several guards to take Zhao Lin back to his room and monitor him at all times to prevent him from leaving the room.
Yan Moying and Yin Ruchen went to Hualuan Palace to find Zhao Lin. When they learned that Zhao Lin was under house arrest for three days, they turned to find Yun Keyou.
In Yixianzhai, Yun Keyu said excitedly: "Brother Mo Ying, you are finally back! I missed you so much! Why didn't Brother Zhaolin come with you? By the way, where is the new friend that Brother Zhaolin said he had?"
