"How dare you! How could there be any unknown person in my bedroom?! Have them leave immediately!"
Xie Xianyu's dark eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I'm afraid not. I'm under the Emperor's command to protect Yanshan like an iron barrel. Otherwise, if anyone else tries to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel, I will be unable to speak to Your Majesty. If the Empress has any objections, please report them to Your Majesty yourself."
"you!"
There is unrest in the capital now, and the emperor is also worried. He has specially ordered Xie Xianyu to guard the mountain strictly and not allow any accidents to happen. If a person of unknown origin enters Yanfu Mountain, even if he reports it to the emperor, the emperor will not protect the queen.
"search."
Xie Xianyu shouted, and the guards immediately dispersed to search for people.
The queen's face became increasingly ugly. She had never expected Xie Xianyu to be so arrogant that he dared to come to her palace to search for people openly!
Not long after, Lin Han was found by the guards. He had been severely tortured and his body was covered in blood and whip marks, looking in a miserable state.
Xie Xianyu glanced at the Queen coldly and said, "Such a suspicious person, I will personally interrogate him and take him away."
The queen's face turned pale and her eyes dimmed.
Lin Han was taken out of the palace and sent to Xie Xianyu's office tent.
He lay bloodied on the ground. Xie Xianyu walked over to the armchair and sat down.
Lin Han struggled to raise his head and looked at him, his eyes, which had been blurred, were instantly filled with hatred.
Xie Xianyu looked at him indifferently. "I'll give you a chance to save your life. Go to the emperor and file a complaint, explaining the plague disaster in Qingzhou. Do you have the courage?"
Lin Han's mouth was full of blood, and he gritted his teeth: "Why should I help you?"
Xie Xianyu scoffed, "Help me?"
"Even without you, I still have a way to report the disaster in Qingzhou to His Majesty. Even if you die a thousand times, it won't be enough to help me."
Lin Han gritted his teeth and stared at him, blood oozing from the corners of his lips.
Xie Xianyu looked at him with a sarcastic tone, but his eyes gradually turned sinister: "Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of my attention?"
Lin Han's face froze.
"Once you have made up your mind, go see the Emperor yourself. Otherwise, I will consider it a favor to the Empress and send you there."
Xie Xianyu no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with him, so he stood up and left.
But when he reached the door, he paused again and said in a cold voice: "Mind your own business. Wanruo is my wife now. If you dare to get close to her again, I will drag you out and chop you into pieces and feed them to the dogs."
After saying that, he walked out without stopping.
Lin Han lay on the ground, his face pale.
Just after noon, the palace servants in the temporary palace began to discuss quietly.
"I heard that a minor official from Qingzhou came and actually rushed before His Majesty, saying that there was a plague in Qingzhou."
"Ah? Who is so brave?"
"I heard that King Xuan is inextricably linked to this matter. I'm afraid King Xuan is really finished now."
"Then the Queen..."
"Keep your voice down! The Empress Dowager rules the country. Doesn't the Emperor have to be the Empress Dowager?"
Having said that, the reality is completely different. There is a world of difference between being a queen mother who has to read other people's minds and being a queen mother who holds real power.
The queen angrily swept away all the tea sets on the table: "Asshole!"
The palace maids all knelt on the ground. Chen Qinghan stood trembling beside them, cautiously advising, "Queen, calm down."
The Queen glared at her and said, "How dare you say that? If you weren't so incompetent and hadn't advised King Xuan to restrain himself, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Chen Qinghan's face turned pale and he immediately knelt down, not daring to speak anymore.
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in and whispered to the queen, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan has returned to the capital and will soon come to Yanshan Mountain to pay his respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
The Queen's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Chen Qinghan and scolded him, "What do you look like in such a mess? Go change your clothes before coming back. It's an eyesore to me."
Chen Qinghan was stunned for a moment. In order to avoid being criticized by the Queen, she dressed very low-key. She didn't know why the Queen still thought she was too plain.
But she dared not disobey the Queen's words, so she could only respond in a low voice: "Yes."
Then he hurried out to change clothes.
The Queen stared at her departing figure, her eyes gleaming with brilliance. "Clean this up first, and when Prince Zhennan arrives, have her serve tea."
"I understand."
-
When Xie Xianyu arrived, it was already past noon.
Wanruo had just finished lunch, and the maids were clearing away the leftovers. She looked up and asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I've been to the palace." His expression was still unfriendly.
"oh."
His voice was slightly cold: "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"What?" She feigned ignorance.
A county official from Qingzhou had the audacity to file a complaint with the emperor. This matter had spread everywhere, and of course she already knew about it.
Xie Xianyu's hand was definitely involved in this. Since he was able to rescue Lin Han from the Queen's clutches, Lin Han was most likely fine.
He sneered: "Yes, you probably already know it, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat this meal."
Wanruo took a deep breath and glared at him: "Xie Xianyu."
His eyes were gloomy and his aura was oppressive: "What?"
She stood up suddenly and grabbed his collar with both hands.
His expression changed slightly, and a trace of panic rarely appeared in his calm eyes.
She still wants to hit him?!
But she grabbed his collar, forced him to bend over, then stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
