Hearing Lin Yue's thoughts, the Queen Mother ignored the wound on her forehead and took Lin Yue straight to Fengyi Palace.
No reason, because the Queen's family, the Duke of Jin, is a well-known family of loyal ministers and generals. Their children, grandchildren, and nephews are all good at fighting and are well-known for being good leaders of troops.
This time it was the Queen's younger brother Xu Changdong and his son Xiao Jingyun who went to the battle. The two fought side by side and were invincible, so everyone in the capital was so relieved.
In Fengyi Palace, the Queen had heard about her brother's sister-in-law's behavior. She said she was holding a banquet only to show her love for the Queen Mother.
So, she just asked the housekeeper to add a few dishes without any special entertainment, and then she prepared to take a rest.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived, Princess Ding has arrived."
The queen was so frightened that she got up from the couch and even forgot to put on her shoes. It was her personal maid, Nanny Zhang, who came in to help her clean up and supported her out.
But she couldn't help but mutter, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
Nanny Zhang whispered, "From a distance, I can see that the Empress Dowager doesn't seem very happy."
The queen frowned, thinking that maybe she knew that she had neglected Lin Yue, so she came to punish her?
But she had just given the order, so the news couldn't spread so quickly, right? Besides, I often heard the Queen Mother criticize Lin Yue, so why did she suddenly defend her?
When the queen went out, she saw the empress dowager holding Lin Yue's hand, looking as close as mother and daughter.
This is bad, the Queen thought. Then she heard the Queen Mother's impatient voice: "This is your sister-in-law, the daughter of the Duke of Jin, Xu Zhiman."
Queen: “…” There’s no need to explain it so clearly.
Lin Yue stepped forward to greet her. She thought, "Such a gentle and dignified queen, with such a charming smile, so graceful and elegant, truly worthy of being the mother of the nation."
What a pity...
The Queen Mother frowned: "..." What a pity?
The Queen was stunned, her brows raised slightly. What had she just heard? Was it Lin Yue who was speaking?
At this time, Lin Yue said, "Lin Yue should have come to pay her respects long ago, but the prince is not in the capital, so I dare not move around casually. I hope the emperor's sister-in-law will forgive me."
Hearing Lin Yue's polite words, the Queen stared at her lips, making sure it was she who said it, then smiled and said: "We are all family, sister-in-law, you are too polite."
"Let's go into the inner hall and talk."
The three of them entered the inner hall. The queen first helped the queen mother to sit down, then personally served tea before sitting down.
Such a considerate, filial and caring scene made Lin Yue's eyelids twitch.
[Even though we're both daughters-in-law, the emperor's sister-in-law has already done everything, so I don't have to get up and do it all again, right?]
[Forget it, I’ll just pretend to be stupid for now]
The Queen Mother: “…”
Queen: "..." She was sure that what she just heard outside the door was Lin Yue's inner voice.
But why is it so strange? Could this Lin Yue be some kind of demon? At this moment, the queen wanted to escape.
At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly covered her hand, which frightened the Queen.
The Queen Mother was also frightened by her reaction and asked curiously, "Queen, what's wrong with you?"
Judging from the Queen Mother's calm appearance, she probably didn't hear it. She was the only one who heard it. Could it be that because she is the mother of the country, she has extraordinary abilities?
The Queen swallowed her dry throat and quickly explained, "Please forgive me, Mother. I just went to see my sister-in-law. I thought she had never been to the palace before, so I wondered if she was used to it."
The Queen Mother said, "We are all family, what's there to be unaccustomed to?"
The Queen said awkwardly, "That's right."
Then he gave Lin Yue a kind smile, but he was frightened and looked pale and weak.
Lin Yue thought strangely, "I haven't heard that the emperor's sister-in-law is ill, but it's true that the prince is ill, and he died on the spot after an acute attack."
The mother-in-law's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the tea splashed on her hand, but she didn't dare move because she wanted to hear what happened next.
The queen was extremely shocked, her pupils widened, but she was afraid that Lin Yue would notice something, so she had to lower her head.
Just as she was wondering how the prince could be ill, and why it was such an acute attack, she heard Lin Yue's inner voice again.
[Also, the little grandson was frail and sickly because of the Crown Prince's poor health, but the Queen blamed the Crown Princess, not knowing that the person who treated her son best was the Crown Princess. In the end, the Crown Prince died, and the Crown Princess committed suicide for love.]
[Alas, what a pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks]
System: [Regarding the bodies of the Crown Prince and the Emperor's grandson, if you wish to save them, it will also be a great merit.]
Lin Yue: [I want to save him. I definitely want to save him. Didn't you say that? The greater the influence and the stronger the sense of justice, the greater the amount of merit one gains. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne of the Great Wei, so isn't his influence off the charts? And then there's the little grandson of the Emperor. He'll be the emperor someday. Although he may not live long, his influence should be considerable. Besides, we can't let the Great Wei Dynasty fall into the hands of a scumbag like Xiao Huaiqing. But how can I save him?]
The Queen's fingers were clasped tightly on the chair, and she didn't even notice her broken nails. [Sons and grandsons were all going to die, and the throne ended up falling to Xiao Huaiqing?]
Ahhh, this is unbearable.
The Queen Mother held her teacup, motionless, as if petrified. [Although my grandson will inherit the throne in the end, how can I bear to watch the old family die out?]
System: [Do good deeds as soon as possible, things that benefit the people. The accumulated merits can be exchanged for life-saving pills for the Crown Prince, and for health-strengthening pills for the young grandson. If nothing unexpected happens later, their lives will be saved.]
Lin Yue sighed: [I am trapped in the palace now, I can't even provide porridge.]
System: [Host must not be discouraged, otherwise it will affect the conversion of merit and may gain negative energy.]
