She didn't know what had happened to her mother, but she hoped she could help her.
After hearing her words, Lin Xiangru shook his head and wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.
Although she didn't have the face to go to the emperor to plead for the prime minister's family, what if she took Qiuyue with her?
Perhaps the emperor would listen to what he has to say for Qiuyue's sake and be willing to spare the prime minister's family.
It has to be said that at this time Lin Xiangru still wanted to use Qiuyue, but all this was based on the premise of not harming Qiuyue.
After figuring it all out, Lin Xiangru said, "Qiuyue, dear, Qiuyue can indeed help mother. Are you willing to accompany mother to the emperor?"
Although he decided to use Qiuyue, Lin Xiangru still sought Qiuyue's consent first.
Qiuyue always listened to Lin Xiangru. Although she didn't know what Lin Xiangru wanted to do when he went to see the emperor, since Lin Xiangru had asked, she naturally would not refuse.
So Lin Xiangru brought Qiuyue to the imperial study.
As soon as she entered the imperial study, Lin Xiangru knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you and pay my respects to you."
Lin Xiangru's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Situ Yao knew that Lin Xiangru was definitely going to plead for the Prime Minister's family, but he didn't expect Lin Xiangru to be so patient and only come to him now.
"Get up, what's the matter?" Although he knew Lin Xiangru's purpose, Situ Yao still planned to pretend to be confused. If he easily spared the prime minister, then who knows how many people would want to follow suit in the future.
After hearing Situ Yao's words, Lin Xiangru did not stand up, but continued to kneel on the ground: "Your Majesty, I know that my father did something wrong. I have no other request, only that Your Majesty can save the lives of my family."
Lin Xiangru felt that since she came to ask for help, she should behave in a begging manner. Moreover, she had given up on Situ Yao and had no improper thoughts about him. She also did not think that Situ Yao would favor her. She could coax Situ Yao to put this matter behind him with just a few words.
Seeing Lin Xiangru like this, Qiuyue was a little at a loss. She also wanted to kneel on the ground with Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru didn't let her, so she could only stand beside Lin Xiangru and look at Situ Yao.
Situ Yao thought about Lin Xiangru's request and felt that it was not very difficult. After all, the Prime Minister was still young and had not caused any substantial harm to him. What's more, what Lin Xiangru wanted was just the safety of his family, as long as their lives were not harmed.
To be honest, Lin Xiangru was a little greedy and wanted to ask the prime minister to keep his current position, or for other reasons. Perhaps Situ Yao would not be so kind, but at this time, Lin Xiangru just wanted his family to be safe as a child. It must be said that such filial piety is witnessed by heaven and earth.
In addition, Su Mengyan's birthday will be in a while, and some criminals can be pardoned during the Queen's birthday.
"It's the Queen's birthday soon. When the Queen celebrates her birthday, she will naturally grant amnesty to the world." Situ Yao said.
The meaning of his words was too obvious. Since the Queen's birthday was approaching, a general amnesty should be issued. A general amnesty did not mean that all criminals would be released. Those who had done evil and cruel things were not eligible for release. The Prime Minister, who had not caused any substantial harm to the country and had not been convicted, was among those who were pardoned. Since the Prime Minister, who was the mastermind of this incident, would be released, his family members would naturally not be implicated.
After figuring this out, Lin Xiangru immediately kowtowed to Situ Yao and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
At the beginning, she wanted to use Qiuyue. She thought that if the emperor was unwilling to pardon her family, she would use Qiuyue as an excuse to ask Qiuyue to plead for her. However, she didn't expect that not only did Qiuyue not come forward, but the emperor agreed after she just said a few words.
Since he had achieved his goal, Lin Xiangru was naturally very happy, and the smile on Situ Yao's face also looked more sincere.
"Your Majesty, Chen Changzai and General Chen have been interacting too closely. One is your concubine, and the other is your minister. If they are too close, it will be harmful to the country." At the morning court session, a censor stood up and impeached Chen Yalan for having too much contact with Chen Yi.
At this time, they had forgotten that Chen Yalan and Chen Yi were father and daughter, so how could such interactions between father and daughter be considered excessive?
However, it is not the fault of these censors. Among the concubines in the harem, how many can be so close to their families? After Chen Yalan entered the harem, she not only fought on the battlefield and was awarded the title of a female general for the country, but also solved the case herself. She was in the limelight for a while, so it was inevitable that some people wanted to take action against her.
Not only that, now that the Prime Minister has been imprisoned, the former Prime Minister's party naturally hopes that something can divert Situ Yao's attention, hoping that he can focus his attention elsewhere instead of staring at themselves.
Therefore, in addition to those rather old-fashioned censors, the impeachment of Chen Yalan was also fueled by the former prime minister's party who spared no effort.
For a while, voices impeaching Chen Yalan were heard everywhere in the former dynasty.
Some people say that as a woman, Chen Yalan no longer stays in the harem to share the emperor's worries, but instead fights on the battlefield and loses her womanly virtues.
Some people also said that as a woman, Chen Yalan often appeared in public, which made the emperor lose face.
There are more and more people saying this, and the implicit meaning is that Chen Yalan, as a woman, should not be like this.
In fact, they didn't think about the fact that although Chen Yalan appeared in public, nothing she did brought shame to the emperor.
But those people simply couldn't see Chen Yalan's contribution. They just thought that as a woman, she should stay in the backyard, take care of her husband and children, instead of standing in front of everyone and letting others point fingers at her and still doing her own thing.
Especially after Chen Yalan entered the palace, she was not only not restricted by the harem, but also had close ties with her natal family.
In this era, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Even if she enters the palace as a concubine, she should keep a certain distance from her parents' family.
After the Xia Dynasty, Situ Yao summoned General Chen Yi to the imperial study, discussed the matter with Chen Yi, and asked Chen Yi what he had to say about it.
