Chapter 286 - 285: The Biased Emperor Longteng
He is a good father who listens well, so he came to find his daughter.
Silly Chu chuckled foolishly, gazing at his own daughter, the more he looked, the more he liked her.
His daughter is simply adorable, even when she is beating someone up, she looks exceptionally cute!
"Emperor, this is impossible, how could she be my elder brother’s daughter, my big brother has never mentioned her!"
Chu Tianyi’s face was filled with disbelief.
Fifteen years ago, Chu Beiqing did indeed disappear for a few months.
But when he came back, he mentioned nothing, if he truly had a daughter, how could he have never brought her up in all these years.
"My mother knew she was of lowly status, she didn’t tell my father that she was pregnant, a month ago, my mother unfortunately passed away, only then did she tell me everything, and asked me to go to Purple Cloud City to recognize my relatives, who knew, I would be driven out of Chu Mansion by Chu Tianyi."
Xin Lin glared at Chu Tianyi.
"She is lying! She’s a murderer! Emperor, I can decide on this matter!"
Only to see Lin Zhong being supported by a few guards, clamoring aloud.
"Emperor, this woman is cunning, it was already evident during the Written Examination. Just now I happened to recall that this examinee named Lin Zhong is from the Ping’an region. Upon inquiry, I learned that Xin Lin killed someone in Ping’an and fled to Purple Cloud City. Her so-called recognition is clearly intentional. Chu Beiqing is a simpleton, he must have been deceived by her, hence the mistaken recognition."
Grandmaster Jin’s face still bore the evident slap marks, his beard, eyebrows, and hair were scratched off by a large margin.
He suppressed the fiery anger in his heart, and ordered people to wake Lin Zhong up.
Lin Zhong had just taken a punch from Xin Lin, the first thing upon waking up was to point the finger at Xin Lin.
"She is actually a murderer."
"I said it, this child is a little ghost, not a good sort."
The ministers discussed noisily amongst themselves.
Emperor Longteng’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Daughter, good girl, don’t be afraid. Whoever bullies you, I will bully them back!"
Seemingly sensing the unfriendly gazes around, Chu Beiqing was quite irate, glaring at the people around who spoke ill of Xin Lin, hugging his own daughter tightly, as if he feared someone would snatch her away.
Emperor Longteng saw this protective demeanor thoroughly.
"Come here."
Emperor Longteng shouted.
Chu Tianyi’s face lit up with joy, and Grandmaster Jin also glanced at Xin Lin with disdain in his eyes.
Thinking of contending with him, this wild girl is still too green.
Murong Ziyue walked up to Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing without a sound.
"Lin Zhong slandered the examinee, deceived the Emperor, a crime unforgivable, to be executed immediately."
As soon as Emperor Longteng’s words fell, several of the Imperial Guards rushed forward, took Lin Zhong, and dragged him away.
"Emperor! Your Majesty please see clearly, everything I’ve said is the truth, she really is a murderer!"
Lin Zhong’s screaming echoed within North Square.
Grandmaster Jin’s face was stiff, Chu Tianyi was also dumbstruck, only Empress Feng hummed lightly, seemingly unsurprised by this outcome.
"Thank you, Emperor. Father, you should thank the Emperor too, it’s thanks to him that we father and daughter could reunite."
Xin Lin’s little face bloomed with a smile, pulling Chu Beiqing into bowing to Emperor Longteng.
"Bei Qing is my sworn brother, and you are my niece, we are all family, no need for formalities. The bond of blood is thicker than water, I did hear about the incident fifteen years ago from Bei Qing. Never did I expect that Bei Qing would have a descendant, seeing that Bei Qing has an heir, I am also relieved."
Emperor Longteng had tears in the corners of his eyes as he helped up Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing.
Emperor Longteng’s words were tantamount to legitimizing Xin Lin’s status, who would dare to question the words of Emperor Longteng!
