Chapter 145: End for Lin Tang

145 End for Lin Tang

Yamin moved without delay towards the pond, taking off her outer robe and jumped into the water. The officials are all stunned and unable to comprehend what had happened when the second splashed of water is heard.

SPLASH!

"Don't."

Soujin hand is held back by Yan and Yan eye is solemn. Although they would usually banter with each other, they know the times to get serious and there are matters which they cannot touch casually. Yan gaze had made Soujin remembers, this is the palace and the emperor would surely find things he could take advantage of them. Usually, they would keep their conversation at banter to make people thought that they are only 'friends'.

He turned his gaze towards the water. This time, they cannot make the emperor pointed to them that they are acting inappropriate towards woman. Or, if Soujin were to go towards the lake and jumped into the water to safe Jun Hua, they would know about the special relationship between Jun and Nanglong family.

Yet, despite knowing the risk, Soujin wants to help her. He finally realizes it, he had indeed fallen for her albeit only a little bit. If something were to happen to Jun Hua, he wouldn't be able to forgive Lin Tang. Forcing his feeling down, Soujin stared back.

"I know. Thanks."

Yan nodded. He slipped in into the crowds and stays away from Soujin as his best friend's gaze never leaves the water again. The fury within his eyes becomes more apparent as time goes by.

Actually, Jun Hua is fine. She was holding her breath and carefully let herself stay underwater. She looks at the coming Yamin and nodded her head. Yamin hold her Miss arm and swim upwards, only when they are near did she circle her arms around Jun Hua waist and showed up on the surface.

She moved towards the further shore and gently put Jun Hua on it while at the same time blocking their view towards her Miss. Lin San had slipped in during the commotion and handed back Jun Min's coat to Yamin who used it to wrap Jun Hua to the point nothing can be seen from outside anymore before carried her in her embrace. Despite Jun Hua actually conscious, she closes her eyes tightly and didn't move.

Despite feeling nervous, Lin San remembers Jun Min words and try her best to stay calm in this situation. All in all, she had experienced much harder things in the household during these pasts few months. Lin San and Yamin both cooperated to block Jun Hua from other people view causing them unable to look at her at all. Not even a single bit is leaked out to their view.

Yamin stared coldly at Lin Tang. With her actual profession as an assassin, her gaze is also filled with murderous aura. She strode outside while carrying Jun Hua on her arms. Lin San wants to follow, but she didn't do it and only stayed behind while looking towards Lin Tang. What happened with her father?

Soujin hand is still clenched in a tight fist. Only his eyes had turned somewhat calmer when he sees that Jun Hua is fine. He cannot see her because of Yamin and Lin San blocking, but he knows that she must be feeling cold from being underwater for so long. Although this is already spring, the water is still relatively cold because of the change of season.

He walked to the hall and when he passed by Yan, he said in a cold tone. "You clean them up."

Yan nodded. This act is truly stupid and unthinkable, which actually a bit suspicious. Lin Tang only wants to get rid Jun Hua, but he didn't know that this girl is someone who has a lot of backing. If he thinks his reputation could return after this incident, he must be dreaming. This incident has brought the chance for people to push Lin Tang into the road of no return.

"Is Hua'er alright?" Fan Lanying cannot go there because Ming Hui didn't allow her.

"She's going to be alright. Her brother helped her," Ming Hui assured her. The gaze on Ming Hui is also cold. When he heard the commotion and then seeing Jun Min walking in large strides while carrying a bundle in front of him, he knows that something bad happened. To think that Lin Tang would be that stupid to move against his daughter in front of numerous nobles!

"That Lin Tang is really hateful!" Fan Lanying said while gritting her teeth. Jun Hua is her friend, how can she stay calm seeing her best friend getting hurt like that?

Ming Hui gaze is deep. That Lin Tang is still inviting trouble, let see how he fixed him up.

At the same time, Lin Tang can't belief he had just done that. He didn't push the girl, but no one believes him. They would not trust him when he's saying that he only stumbles towards the pond. Seeing their cold gaze, Lin Tang knows… It's over! His career is over!

The emperor expression is below ugly when he heard the report of things that happened during his birthday party. That Lin Tang has grown really audacious. Does he think their Lin family worth even a fart? He only keeps him to maintain the balance of the court, but he just had to attack his own daughter.

"This Lin Tang moral character is truly problematic. Luckily his daughter is a good girl."

"I know, even Princess Hua still regards her as a sister, but she didn't regard her own father as father. He must have done something on the back."

The emperor is not stupid. He knows that the news he heard while walking over to the garden is mostly true. Listening to their gossip before they bow down before him makes him understand just what had happened.

When he arrives in the garden, Lin Tang hurriedly kowtows to him. However, the gaze emperor had on him is terrifyingly cold. He feels that he can see once again, the powerful figure of the emperor who used to have powerful followers.

"Lin Tang, do you have any objection with my decision to announce her as a princess?" the emperor asks in a cold tone.

"This subject didn't dare…"

"Then what do you mean by attacking Princess Hua? Did you forget that she was now the member of imperial family?"

Lin Tang feels his body turned cold. He knows that the emperor must be angry. He's finished this time.

"Heed my words. From now on Lin Tang is no longer a noble and he's stripped of his position as prime minister. His residence is taken back and he cannot return there anymore."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

The emperor ignored him, but another person comes before him.

"Imperial father, although this Lin Tang is morally corrupted, his daughter is innocent. At least give her a good marriage partner, so she can live with her husband."

The emperor had heard about the daughter being a good girl and that Jun Hua regards her as a sister. This is a complicated matter as he doesn't want to clash with Jun family for the time being. He looks back.

"Do you have any suggestion, Prince Yan?"

"What about Fourth Brother? He had reached 18 this year without marriage partner," Yan said earnestly.

The emperor remembers that Yan too is without marriage partner, but the officials are all looking at him with pleading eyes whenever he mentioned it. With Yan reputation, it will be impossible to marry him with that lady. The fourth son is someone he didn't even remember much, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Then so be it. For the time being, Lin San will stay with Princess Hua and she will be married to Ming Xiao."

Just like that, Lin San future is sealed.

The emperor didn't give anymore thought and dismissed the party. After such an incident, who is in the mood to have a party?
