Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slender and powerful fingers rhythmically tapped the handle of the phoenix chair again and again.
"There is solid evidence that Concubine Lin is plotting to murder the Queen, so she is granted the title of White Silk. Contraband was found in Concubine Shu's palace, and she violated palace rules, so she is demoted to Concubine."
When Concubine Lin heard the three words "grant white silk", she seemed to have all her strength drained away and collapsed to the ground.
Her eyes were full of despair, and her eyeballs were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
No, no, it was the Queen. The Queen did it on purpose. It was the Queen who asked her to do this...
At this time, Su Jingyao finally heard the result that satisfied her.
She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible look of pride flashed across her face.
"I never thought that Concubine Lin would hate me so much. I don't know what kind of parents would raise such a cruel and ruthless daughter and send her to the palace to become a concubine."
At first, Concubine Lin didn’t understand the meaning of the Queen’s words. She was about to die, so was there any need for the Queen to continue to mock her?
Without waiting for Concubine Lin to think more, Su Jingyao continued, "Your Majesty, I heard that the current patriarch of the Lin family took Concubine Lin's aunt as his second wife two years ago."
"I don't know how Lord Lin's second wife taught Concubine Lin. She actually dared to murder the heir to the throne and even tried to frame Princess Mingfei (Shufei) of Yuehui Country."
After listening to the Queen's words, Concubine Lin suddenly realized that the Queen wanted to implicate her mother and her family?
After hearing this, Jun Zechen also felt that the Lin family was not worthy of being a noble family.
"Princess Lin plotted to murder the heir to the throne, which is a crime of treason. She framed Concubine Ming and is suspected of trying to sow discord between the two countries. The Lin family is really bad at educating their daughter."
"Anshun, give the order to order Lin Zhenguo, the father of Concubine Lin, to divorce his wife and take back all the titles of the Lin family. All the people in the Lin family will be demoted two ranks."
Lin Fei was terrified. She used her hands and feet to crawl in front of Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao, her mouth wide open.
The voice was filled with endless fear and begging: "No, no, Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please let my mother go, and let the entire Lin family go."
Jun Zechen's face remained expressionless, as if the Concubine Lin in front of him was just an insignificant stranger.
Concubine Lin turned to the queen anxiously again, her eyes full of pleading: "Queen, I beg you, I have done many wrong things, I don't ask you to forgive me, but please let the Lin family go."
"Princess Lin, have you ever thought about letting the heir in my belly go? If I don't punish you severely, how can I demonstrate the majesty of the imperial power? How can the heir in my belly be born safely?"
Su Jingyao said coldly, there was no sympathy for Lin Fei in her eyes, only coldness.
"No, Queen, it's all your fault. You're the one pushing me to do these things. You planned everything."
Concubine Lin pointed at the queen like a madman, her face full of deep hatred.
Then she shouted to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, it's all the Queen's fault. The Queen did it on purpose. She didn't almost have a miscarriage at all. She was just pretending, all pretending."
Jun Zechen frowned even more tightly, and said impatiently: "Fuquan, what are you standing there for? Concubine Lin has gone crazy, why don't you drag it on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fuquan responded quickly, and then signaled the eunuch beside him to drag Concubine Lin away quickly.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Jun Zechen raised his eyes slightly, with majesty in his eyes, and gave instructions lightly.
"I will take my leave."
All the concubines stood up, bowed respectfully, and then slowly retreated.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going back to the Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs?" Su Jingyao turned her head slightly, looked at Jun Zechen, and asked softly.
Jun Zechen thought for a moment and then said slowly: "I have wasted some time today. I really have to go back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to deal with the memorials."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "But I want Yaoyao to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to accompany me."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, I am a little tired today and want to rest in the palace."
"Yaoyao can also rest in my bedroom." Jun Zechen's tone was unquestionable and domineering.
He finally realized that he couldn't be too particular when treating her.
He had to keep her under his watch no matter what, otherwise she might start to have all kinds of thoughts and misunderstand him.
Su Jingyao still wanted to continue to refuse, but Jun Zechen's attitude made it seem like there was no gap between them at all, and she almost thought that she had already acted out the scene of forgiving him.
Jun Zechen reached out and held her hand, then exerted a little force and lifted her up from the chair.
Then he naturally put his arms around her waist, his movements were domineering and strong, not allowing her to resist in the slightest.
So he took her to the Qianqing Palace.
After arriving at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he let Su Jingyao rest in his bedroom, while he turned and walked towards the imperial study and began to deal with memorials with great concentration.
Su Jingyao got up early in the morning and had been struggling with her pregnancy for so long.
Feeling tired all over at this moment, she climbed onto the dragon bed and lay down lazily.
I closed my eyes and rested, while my mind was thinking about some suspicious things that happened in the morning.
Concubine Lin will definitely not be able to escape today. All of this was carefully arranged by Su Jingyao.
But it was obvious that if Su Jingyao had not decisively sent people to search the palace, musk would not have been found in Concubine Lin's palace.
I'm afraid Concubine Lin escaped easily today.
Could the musk in Ming Fei's palace have been put there by Concubine Lin?
Su Jingyao couldn't help but frown and think carefully.
But she remembered that Yurong seemed to have said that Concubine Lin only asked her to dispose of all the musk, and did not order it to be put into Concubine Ming's palace.
