Lin Yushu slowly walked in front of the two princes, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "If the two royal brothers only saw this, you deserve to be abandoned by me."
She looked at the emperor and said, "Father, if I punish my two younger brothers, will you be disappointed in me?"
The emperor didn't even glance at the Third and Fourth Princes, but his indifferent voice spoke loud and clear: "Treason and rebellion, forcing the emperor to abdicate is a capital crime. You are the crown prince, my heir apparent, and the future emperor. You can make the decision on this matter yourself."
Lin Yushu chuckled and looked at the Third and Fourth Princes. "Come here, take the Third and Fourth Princes away, strip them of their titles, and demote them to commoners."
There was a glimmer in Lin Yushu's eyes as he watched the two princes being taken away without resistance and smiled gently.
The emperor looked at Lin Yushu and asked, "Ayu, is there any use in keeping them alive?"
The emperor didn't care about his sons. If he wanted, he could have countless sons, but Ayu only had one.
Lin Yushu chuckled: "Father really understands me. I got a map from that woman a few days ago."
She should be thankful that Qin Ranran majored in geography, so the map she drew was quite useful.
Lin Yushu looked at the emperor and slowly unfolded a piece of white silk.
The silk was extremely soft and the emperor knew it was the rarest brocade among the tributes and the favorite silk of the concubines in the harem. It was originally intercepted by Lin Yushu, and he thought it was Ah Yu who wanted to make clothes, so he ordered the Shangyi Pavilion to make them well.
I didn’t expect that Ayu would use it to paint.
He lowered his head and looked at the picture on the white silk, shock flashing in his eyes: "Is this... a map?"
Lin Yushu looked at him and nodded: "This is Da Qi, this is Dongying, this is..."
After explaining the map to the emperor, she said, "Father, I intend to have them explore the route over there."
The emperor looked at Lin Yushu, a flash of shock in his eyes, and then he said, "Ayu, do you want them to go to those barren lands to open up wasteland?"
Lin Yushu was helpless: "What barren land? Father, those places are inhabited by people and have countries. It's just that their culture is quite different from ours."
The emperor nodded and said, "Then let them go. They are not of our race, so their hearts must be different. These people just can't come to our Great Qi now, but if they come, Great Qi will only let them see how powerful we are."
Otherwise, the emperor could imagine what would happen.
Lin Yushu chuckled: "If they succeed, I'll let them become local tyrants over there, so what?"
The emperor shook his head and said disapprovingly: "No, they want to be emperor anyway. What if they want to take your throne?"
He looked at Lin Yushu, his eyes full of determination: "Ayu, you can make them kings, but you must never let them become emperors over there. You must maintain your legitimate position."
Lin Yushu waved his hand and smiled, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. Let's not talk about the powerful weapon I hold in my hands. Even if my children and grandchildren are not capable of it in the future, what will happen if they snatch it away?"
Aren’t we still a family?
What she wants is that it cannot be taken away by other foreign races.
A glint of determination flashed in Lin Yushu's eyes.
The emperor looked at Lin Yushu's resolute expression and finally understood why his father was always dissatisfied with him. He did not have the broad mind that a powerful emperor should have.
But now he saw it in his daughter...
After Lin Yushu resolved the matter, she returned to the East Palace. As soon as she entered, she saw a person hanging on the tree inside the gate.
She squinted her eyes and looked carefully. It was An Lingyan.
She suddenly remembered that her mother had ordered him to be hanged in the East Palace, but she didn't expect him to be hung for so long. She went to do things on her own and actually forgot about it.
An Lingyan was gasping for breath. He had been hanging here for the whole afternoon. He knew what had happened in the palace, but he didn't know what the other two people had done. In short, no one had been able to break into the East Palace.
But he seemed to have been forgotten and had been left hanging until this moment. He looked at the sky that was about to get dark, licked his cracked lips, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Lin Yushu glanced at Chu Qian and Lu Yan, who had come over eagerly to greet him and see if he was injured, and chuckled, "Did you two do this?"
Chu Qian was made a concubine by her. Without his order, she didn't believe that anyone would let her go, especially in a situation like today.
Chu Qian knelt at Lin Yushu's feet and said, "Master, I am sorry for what you said. This morning, Master took Concubine Yan to pay a visit to the Princess, and then she came back with one sentence to hang the man, without any other instructions. I had no choice but to hang him on the road that Master must pass by. When Master comes back, he will see it and tell me what you have done to him."
Lin Yushu glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Put him down."
An Lingyan listened to Lin Yushu's voice which seemed to come from a very far away place, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. Is A Yu back?
Is she safe?
Would she despise him for being useless? He was so weak after being hung for a while...
An Lingyan was let down. Just as he was about to stand up, he found that his legs were weak after being hung for a whole day, and his hands were purple and numb, and he had no strength at all.
He was panicking, afraid that Lin Yushu would think he was useless. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He crawled to Lin Yushu's feet and said, "It is because I am useless that I have disappointed the master. Please punish me."
Lin Yushu looked at his embarrassed appearance and sneered: "Looking at your current state, you're going to fall down before I even punish you. What's the point?"
An Lingyan pursed his lips, looked at Lin Yushu's disdainful look, crawled down, buried his head deeply in the ground, with deep sadness in his eyes.
Ah Yu already disliked him, and he himself was so disappointing, and now Ah Yu despised him...
Lin Yushu looked at him like this, with a flicker of impatience in his eyes: "Come here, send Yan Liangdi back."
She ignored An Lingyan who was kneeling on the ground and turned around and walked away. Of course, she could see that An Lingyan had psychological problems, but she was here to torture him, not to solve people's psychological problems.
Therefore, she only needs to take care of her own affairs. As for An Lingyan's feelings...
When did she ever care?
Just like Chu Qian and Lu Yan, who of them dares to make him care?
Even though he was beaten to pieces, she still wanted to see him and came here right away, didn't she?
An Lingyan quickly crawled two steps and grabbed the hem of Lin Yushu's skirt: "It's my fault that I ruined your highness's mood. I beg your highness to punish me."
Lin Yushu looked at him and said, "Ayan, remember, you are just a toy to please me. I am the only one who is unhappy and I don't summon you. There is no reason for you to act like a spoiled child in front of me. Do you understand?"
