Chapter 323: Directly point out the chapter
The emperor's face changed. What else could it be?
Because Zhong Jingyu wanted everyone to suspect Bai Zhaozhao, and then suspect Bai Lin! He wanted Bai Lin's opponents to throw dirty water on Bai Lin! He wanted to sow discord between the emperor and Bai Lin!
What a great guy, Zhong Jingyu! He is really capable, using all the smart people present as guns!
You have no evidence at all, but you want to take advantage of others based on just a painting?
Regardless of whether the doubts he raised are reliable, just the fact that he is so scheming is distasteful.
"Princess Zhaohe is right. Zhong Jingyu, tell me, what are you hinting at?"
Zhong Jingyu felt a chill all over his body. He was not a fool and immediately realized the emperor's reverse suspicion, but he could not say the four words "pretending to be a goddess", otherwise he would be slandering the county lord!
He looked at Bai Zhaozhao in disbelief. This woman was so powerful!
At this time, Crown Princess Zhong Jingting also saw something. How could she have such a stupid brother? What was the point of such groundless hints? Even if his hints were successful, what would it matter?
What's in it for him? What's in it for the Zhong family?
Didn't you say you liked Bai Zhaozhao? Why did you turn against her?
Is this the rhythm of destroying it if you can't get it? Is this crazy?
Although Zhong Jingting couldn't figure it out, she still looked at her older cousin Zhong Jingchen, only to see that he said nothing and had no intention of begging for mercy.
Since neither Lord Zhong nor Lord Zhong came, Zhong Jingting had no choice but to look at the Queen with pleading eyes. The Queen received the request for help and sighed secretly, and could only look at the Queen Mother.
So, the Queen Mother tried to calm things down again: "Since it's just a coincidence, take the painting down! Showa, don't let your imagination run wild. If you are the descendant of the goddess, then I am the Queen Mother!"
When the emperor heard the empress dowager's words, he calmed down.
Bai Zhaozhao also knew that this muddy water was almost over, so she said with regret: "The Queen Mother is right, it seems that I can't afford to buy the Treasure Pavilion in this lifetime."
This caused a burst of laughter and the atmosphere returned to normal.
But just as Zhong Jingyu was about to return to his seat, Bai Lin stood up, walked forward, saluted the emperor, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have something to report."
Everyone:...
Is Bai Lin going to fight back?
My goodness, didn’t you see that the Queen Mother just calmed down the situation?
Emperor Yongkang was somewhat embarrassed. He looked at the Queen Mother and said softly, "My dear, today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day."
Bai Lin said respectfully, "Your Majesty is right. I just think that if I tell this story another day, it will inevitably be suspected of being false."
Emperor Yongkang was helpless: "Okay, go ahead!"
Bai Lin said in a clear voice: "As everyone knows, I have lost part of my memory. Others told me about the goddess, so I can't remember what she looks like at all.
I even doubted the authenticity of the goddess! I wondered if the goddess was someone pretending to be her. "
Everyone:! ! !
Pretending! Does Bai Lin know what he is talking about? Anyone can doubt, but he can't! He is the vested interest under the halo of the goddess!
"Brother Siming, you are joking!" Zhong Jingchen stood up, "It's easy to pretend, but it's not easy to make river water and potatoes. What kind of person can do such a miracle?"
Bai Zhaozhao: Another supporting actor!
Compared to Bai Zhaozhao's calmness, those smart people who had doubted before were no longer calm. Bai Lin was really great. He actually said it directly! How dare he?
At this moment, almost everyone suddenly realized what Zhong Jingyu meant! He implied that Bai Zhaozhao was pretending to be a goddess!
What courage!
Bai Lin continued, "Your Majesty, I have no memory of what happened, so I suspect someone found the water source in advance and staged a show with the goddess. As for the potatoes, maybe they were bought from overseas merchants, hoping to benefit the people in the name of the goddess."
Bai Zhaozhao: My brother is awesome, you can even think of this!
Everyone was confused and couldn't understand what Bai Lin wanted to express.
Emperor Yongkang saw that the truth had been revealed, so he asked with great interest, "So what you mean is that the goddess was pretended to be Princess Zhaohe?"
Bai Lin shook his head: "My sister really doesn't have this talent."
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"Your Majesty, in order to pursue the truth, I have specially investigated everything about the goddess!"
Emperor Yongkang became more interested: "Oh? Go ahead!"
Bai Lin looked at Zhong Jingyu and said, “What a coincidence, Master Zhong and I have the same idea and also want to know what the goddess looks like, so we sent a dozen painters to Yuzhou.
However, unlike Master Zhong, what I got was hundreds of portraits with different appearances. These portraits are in my study and I can send someone to get them for Your Majesty to see immediately.
So I really don’t understand why only Master Zhong painted such a picture.”
Zhong Jingchen once again said, "There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. Everyone sees the goddess from different angles, so how can they look the same? It's just a coincidence!"
Bai Lin nodded to him and said, "Your Majesty, I have searched for water sources and potatoes, but have found nothing. Finally, I thought of something."
Emperor Yongkang: "What is it?"
"It's the box given by the goddess! It once contained potatoes."
Emperor Yongkang's eyes lit up: "Oh? What's so magical about that box?"
“There is a small lock on the box, which is also a small mechanism. It’s nothing special. What’s different is the material of this small lock!
I discovered that it is neither copper nor iron, but it is as hard as copper and iron. What’s more interesting is that it will not rust! "
Emperor Yongkang was surprised and asked, "It won't rust?"
"That's right." Bai Lin continued, "Generally speaking, only after anti-rust treatment will it be difficult to rust, such as weapons like swords. But this box is different. I soaked it in water for a few days and exposed it to the sun for a few days, and the small lock is still not rusted. It is as bright as new!"
At this time, the Queen Mother was a little uneasy: "How can you soak and sunbathe at the same time, given by the goddess?"
Bai Lin said respectfully: "The Queen Mother taught me that I dare not do it! What I mean is that I have found many craftsmen, and they all said that there is no such technology in the world!"
Emperor Yongkang was excited: "A material that never rusts? And it's also extremely strong? If so, it must be a divine object!"
Everyone sighed, how could there be such material in the world? Only the things of the gods could do it! After all, gods don't care about hygiene, even their clothes won't get dirty.
Those smart people who had doubts were also shocked. If river water and potatoes could be explained, then how could this be explained?
Bai Zhaozhao: My brother is so awesome, you figured this out!
Indeed, the box was concretized by her, and the small lock was made of stainless steel. It would be fine if it was soaked in water and exposed to the sun. Fortunately, Bai Lin did not burn it with fire, otherwise she might have to get a steel wool to clean it.
However, Bai Lin actually did so many things secretly!
Since he said it, it means he really sent people to Yuzhou, there really are those portraits in his study, and he really studied the box!
So, what is his purpose in doing these things? Is he really doubting the authenticity of the goddess?
Or has he recovered his memory?
Bai Zhaozhao fell into deep thought. If Bai Lin had recovered his memory, then he must know that she was pretending to be the goddess, and he did this just in case!
Because he knew that someone would definitely have doubts, and if someone had doubts there must be hidden dangers, and he had to find a way to eliminate the hidden dangers!
Bai Lin looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and said respectfully again: "Your Majesty, you can send someone to investigate what I said. It is absolutely true!"
Emperor Yongkang was about to say that there was no need to investigate, but swallowed his words back: "Then let Wang Jinnian... Oh, by the way, he went to Jinzhou, so let Xiao Ce investigate!"
