"Perhaps the prince just thought this stone was beautiful and special, so he polished it like a gem into a string of beads and gave it to you."

"Or maybe, someone deliberately guided the prince to give this highly poisonous thing to you."

"In short, the prince will never harm you and has no reason to harm you. Queen, please rest assured."

"That's not enough. Wei Chen does have a suggestion. The Queen can find a string of similar beads and continue to eat fast and chant Buddha's name every day."

"Even if you feel better, try not to show it, and then you can slowly investigate in the dark."

"Perhaps we can even find out the cause of the prince's death. I heard from Xiao Chen that the prince's death was strange."

The queen smiled coldly. Lin Shuangshuang didn't need to teach these methods at all. If she didn't even understand these methods, the throne of the queen would have been replaced long ago.

"Shuang'er, thank you very much for today."

"I feel really sorry for keeping you awake all night."

"The Queen is serious, I think this night was not in vain. It is the best result to find out that you are okay."

"Xiao Chen will be very happy to know."

The queen added: "In the morning, I will send someone to deliver a message to my uncle. Even if we don't reach an agreement at court, my brother will still have a way."

"Actually, the emperor doesn't want to involve the Gu family, but he is forced to do nothing by the officials."

"Brother will make arrangements there."

Lin Shuangshuang did not refuse. Although she was sure that she would win the innocence of the Gu family in court, an extra level of assurance was still necessary.

"Thank you, Queen."

"After leaving the palace today, Wei Chen will prepare the medicine and have it delivered."

The queen held Lin Shuangshuang's hand and said with gratitude: "Shuang'er, thank you for this."

The rooster crowed three more times and the sky grew slightly brighter. The Queen asked Aunt Yu to personally escort Lin Shuangshuang to the front hall.

At this time, the officials had almost arrived, and everyone looked at Lin Shuangshuang appearing in the court with different expressions.

It was ridiculous for a woman to go to court, but today the emperor allowed it, and no one dared to say anything.

But they will definitely not agree to what she wants today.

If you collaborate with the enemy and treason, and you don't want to involve your family, then doesn't it mean that everyone is collaborating with the enemy?

Lin Shuangshuang didn't care what they thought. Anyway, his family couldn't have anything going on.

She was standing at the end of the hall, like a transparent person. No one paid attention to her, and she was too lazy to pay attention to anyone.

Soon, Eunuch Su entered the hall and shouted in a sharp and harsh voice: "The Emperor has arrived."

All the officials knelt down and shouted three times, "Long live the emperor!"

Lin Shuangshuang knelt down together, and then stood up together with the emperor's words.

Although, it was my first time to go to court and I didn’t know much about the rules of the court, so it shouldn’t be wrong to just follow the crowd.

She just needs to do what others do.

Immediately afterwards, officials from all walks of life began to report what they wanted to say, some reporting on disasters in various places, some talking about taxation in various places...

Lin Shuangshuang stood aside with her left ear going in and the right ear going out. It was none of her business anyway.

Soon, everyone's affairs were reported, and the emperor asked nonchalantly, "What do you think of the Gu family's affairs?"

No matter what, stand and watch!

In short, at noon today, the Gu family must be taken to the vegetable market to be beheaded!

As a result, hundreds of officials stood up and listed dozens of crimes against Gu Hanzhou, all of which were serious crimes against the Nine Clan.

Others said that it was an act of mercy on the part of the emperor to only implicate the three Gu family members.

Suddenly, Lin Shuangshuang took a step forward: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a different view. Wei Chen believes that Gu Hanzhou made a personal mistake and should not implicate other people."

"Gu Hanzhou is Wei Chen's ex-husband, and Wei Chen knows the affairs of the Gu family very well."

"Two years ago, he divorced his wife and married another for Miss Chen. He broke up with his family and had already severed ties with her."

"He has been removed from the family tree by the head of the Gu family. He is no longer a member of the Gu family."

"To the Gu family, he is already an outsider. Why should innocent people be implicated when an outsider makes a mistake?"

"That's wrong!"

At this time, a fat official stood up, frowned at Lin Shuangshuang, and then expressed his different views.

"Can family ties be broken off at the drop of a hat?"

"Even though he has been removed from the family tree, he is still the son of Gu Shunxin and Yang. This is an indisputable fact."

"When Gu Hanzhou makes a mistake, it means that parents have not educated their girls well. As the saying goes, a son fails to educate his father."

"Therefore, Wei Chen believes that all three members of the Gu family deserve punishment."

"Regardless of whether they have been expelled or not, as long as they have appeared in the genealogy of the three clans, they should be punished."

Lin Shuangshuang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Zhang, right?"

"Master Zhang, do you think lower officials should also be punished?"

Master Zhang curled his lips. Of course he felt that Lin Shuangshuang deserved punishment, but he didn't dare to say it.

Now she is a popular person in front of the emperor. The emperor wants to protect her. Who dares to be the one who takes the lead?

"Master Lin is joking. You have already reconciled with Gu Hanzhou, so this matter will naturally not involve you."

Lin Shuangshuang said with a smile: "But I am also on the Gu family tree, and I am also among the three clans."

"According to Mr. Zhang, no matter whether I reconcile or not, or whether I am removed from the company, I should be punished."

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have double standards. Does Mr. Zhang know the meaning of double standards? It's two sets of standards, and you have to serve others."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect you to be like this, Mr. Zhang."

"I heard that Mr. Zhang serves in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I wonder if Mr. Zhang also has two sets of standards when judging cases?"

"You...you..." Mr. Zhang blushed with anger, but his words were not as talkative as Lin Shuangshuang's. It was obvious that he couldn't quarrel with her.

He wanted to scold women and villains for being difficult to raise, but he didn't dare.

So Master Zhang suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Master Lin, this is a joke."

"I dare not have two sets of standards. I always act in accordance with the law."

"The Gu family cannot be compared with Master Lin. After all, your contribution to the Yu Dynasty is obvious to all. Even... what I said is even if Master Lin makes a big mistake, the merits and demerits can be offset by the merits."

Lin Shuangshuang was as shrewd as a fox, and this was what she was waiting for.

"The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so let's list the Gu family's merits."

"Master Zhang, does he know what this is?"

Lin Shuangshuang took out a ball of cotton from his sleeve.

Master Zhang does not know this thing.

"This is cotton, used to keep out the cold in winter. With this, ordinary people will not suffer from the cold."

"Although my parents-in-law can't read a few words, they are good at farming."

"I brought this cotton seed from overseas and planted it experimentally in our village."

"I distributed cotton seeds to every household in the village, but only my parents-in-law planted them."

In fact, Lin Shuangshuang lied. She took out a lot of seeds. Some people were given cotton, some were given peanuts, and some were given sesame seeds.

That is to say, each family was given different seeds for trial planting. Because she knew that cotton was more important, she asked the Gu family to plant cotton.
