Chapter 687: Chapter 653: Tiandu Saintess’s Immortal Mirror Technique (Part 4)
Should it be?
For a moment, his heart was completely in chaos.
He didn’t want to present this grand deception case to his father’s desk under such unprepared circumstances, but the wheels of fate had already started, and he couldn’t stop it.
Your Majesty’s majestic face was projected from the deep palace into the Gauze Pavilion.
Suddenly, there was surprise on Your Majesty’s face.
"Father!" Princess Shansheng exclaimed, "Your child has verified a shocking case for you. The Fourth rank Inspection Envoy, Li Chengnian, whom you just appointed, is an imposter. This thief committed the crime of deceiving the sovereign and should have his nine clans exterminated!"
Her finger pointed directly at Lin Xiaosu.
Your Majesty’s eyebrows jumped fiercely, and his gaze turned to the young man in the fourth rank official uniform beside him.
His heart, too, suddenly became chaotic...
Li Chengnian, is actually an imposter?
What a mockery is this?
What a jest is this?
What kind of lawlessness is this?
This vile scoundrel deserves death, once this matter spreads, wouldn’t it become the greatest scandal in officialdom? As for me, this emperor, I would be mocked by the world for a hundred years!
Such great importance placed on an official, climbing eight levels in three days...
Only to be a fake in the end!
Your Majesty’s heart churned with anger and blood...
Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply, "Your Majesty! I, Su Lin, was appointed by Your Majesty to infiltrate the Heart Pavilion, impersonating Li Chengnian to eradicate the toxic scourge within. Although Your Majesty’s foresight was well-intentioned, unfortunately, people’s calculations fell short of the heavens, and the princess saw through my true identity. I am incompetent and unable to hide under the Immortal Mirror Technique, asking for Your Majesty’s punishment!"
The whole audience was taken aback simultaneously.
Appointed by Your Majesty?
He was appointed by Your Majesty to impersonate Li Chengnian?
That seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
The Heart Pavilion, a blight that has troubled the country and colluded with the court, has long been a toxin in Beijing. How could Your Majesty be unaware, sending capable personnel to infiltrate the Heart Pavilion, completely reasonable!
In the end, this undercover agent indeed dismantled the Heart Pavilion, allowing the Dynasty to progress step by step on the right path.
One wonders how this young man could have such a mind?
It makes sense only if appointed by Your Majesty.
Your Majesty was stunned for a while...
Time seemed completely still...
Finally, Your Majesty took a deep breath, "Su Aiqing, by imperial decree, infiltrate the Heart Pavilion. Upon success, you could have restored your true identity! From now on, Su Aiqing, handle affairs with your true face!"
Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Your Majesty said, "I have just named your residence ’Su Mansion,’ and I bestow it upon you!"
"Thank you again for Your Majesty’s great grace!"
Your Majesty’s gaze slowly shifted to Princess Shansheng...
Poor Princess Shansheng was completely dumbfounded, mouth agape, maintaining the most un-princess-like image of her life.
Suddenly feeling her father’s gaze, Princess Shansheng knelt down with a thud, "Father, your child... your child did not know..."
Your Majesty’s face darkened, "As a princess of the Royal Family, you should ease your father’s worries, not create trouble for him, do you understand?"
"Your child understands. Your child is guilty..." Princess Shansheng desperately kowtowed.
"Fortunately, this time was a reckless mistake that did not lead to a major error. I will forgive you once, but if you ruin your father’s great affairs again, I will dethrone your mother! Incapable of achieving success, only adept at ruining things!"
The judgment of "incapable of achieving success, only adept at ruining things" weighed heavily like a mountain!
Princess Shansheng’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
Your Majesty’s Imperial Seal projection disappeared.
Princess Shansheng slowly stood up from the ground, feeling dizzy for a while. As she moved her foot, a flying shuttle appeared, stepping onto the shuttle, she left without looking back.
Lin Xiaosu bowed to bid farewell to Your Majesty, slowly turned around, and met two pairs of puzzled eyes.
The Seventh Prince and Qing Ying.
The two people closest to him since he stepped into Desert City.
"Mr. Su!" The Seventh Prince gently exhaled, "The Ninth Princess just asked a question that you didn’t answer. If I were to ask it again, would you be willing to respond?"
"Which question is Your Highness referring to?" Lin Xiaosu’s voice had also changed, now clear with a scholarly air.
"When exactly did you transform into Li Chengnian?"
This was the question the Seventh Prince was concerned about.
Qing Ying was even more concerned.
Because it pertains to the positioning of this Mr. Su in their minds.
Interactions between people, friendships formed, are all based on significant matters. They needed to confirm whether the person handling this major matter was him or the original Li Chengnian.
