Chapter 113 Calming Her Anger
On the second day of winter, the two said goodbye.
She changed into a black robe again and wore a veil on her head. Wen Suili's outfit was the same as hers, except that it was all white.
The two of them walked slowly to the front of the valley. Jun Lin said happily, "I didn't expect you to update this formation. I was surprised for a long time when you came in."
Wen Suili smiled shyly: "I forgot to hide in the formation when I left the valley before, and accidentally broke the formation. This is a new one."
Jun Lin: “…”
Oh, so it's not that I'm updating more frequently, but that I accidentally destroyed it due to my own confusion, so I'm taking my time to release an enhanced version, right?
She suddenly lowered her head and remained silent.
Wen Suili was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"I'm checking to see if you wore your shoes the wrong way around today."
Wen Suili: “…”
You don't have to worry as much as I think.
"We're about to say goodbye, and you still want to tease me?"
Master was very tired and felt that he was being treated like a child.
Jun Lin looked serious as he lifted the veil that was covering his face. His eyes fell on his neck and he pointed out seriously, "Master, you are missing a button on your collar."
Wen Suili was stunned. The suit he was wearing today had a vertical collar, blue edges, and three buttons on the collar. Hearing this, he quickly put his fingers up to check. Upon touching it, he found that the three buttons were neatly buttoned. There was no difference in the buttons.
He immediately realized that she was making fun of him again. He was about to say something to her, but the person had already walked away laughing.
Wen Suili laughed helplessly and shook his head, then quickened his pace to follow.
One of them went back to the imperial city of Jing Kingdom, and the other went back to the Snow Region. The two directions were completely different, so they officially parted ways after leaving the valley.
Jun Lin released the reins in his hand and bowed respectfully to him: "Master, I will say goodbye now."
Wen Suili helped her up with one hand and reminded her carefully: "Be careful when you are alone outside."
"Okay, you too, but don't let others take advantage of you because of your confusion."
Even the last words she said before she left were still teasing him. The man frowned and said, "Where did you learn such evil spirit from?"
She laughed loudly and rode away, leaving only the clear female voice floating in the wind: "That's a lot. People who stay around me are full of bad things."
There was the sound of hurried horse hooves; Wen Suili smiled and rode away on his horse, looking like an immortal with fluttering clothes.
Jingguo Palace.
The Empress Dowager began to feel suspicious when she didn't see Junlin for one day, so she sent someone to check. The person said that Emperor Jing was in his bedroom handling government affairs and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Apart from occasionally seeing Minghe and Manchuan coming in and out, there was nothing unusual.
But on this day, the Empress Dowager's power surged into the palace again.
When Jun Lin quietly returned to the bedroom, Ming He and Man Chuan were working for her inside. Seeing her return, they were instantly relieved and their faces became visibly relaxed.
Ming He put down his pen and walked quickly to her, looking her up and down: "Is the road safe? Is the wound on your arm better?"
Manchuan also heard about Junlin's arm scratch while saving Minghe. While he was angry at those villains, he was more worried: "Hurry up, sit still, I'll pour you a cup of tea first."
Jun Lin sat obediently in the chair, watching the old man busying about, feeling warm in his heart.
Manchuan is like her grandfather. Although he sometimes lectures her and has a stubborn temper, he is wholeheartedly doing what is best for her. This old man is truly her treasure.
She had been very cold since the whole journey, but when Manchuan put a cup of hot tea in her hand, she felt warm immediately and the last bit of coldness disappeared.
The steam was rising, she held the cup in both hands and squinted her eyes, looking as contented as a cat basking in the sun.
They both smiled when they saw her like this.
Ming He cleared his throat and reported to her: "Although the head of the family was only away for one day, there have been many changes. Many nobles entered the palace yesterday. I'm afraid they have already stood on the side of the Empress Dowager."
Jun Lin's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and the good mood he got from his master disappeared instantly. He said in a sinister tone: "Since it has been divided, just stay in your own territory. Entering the palace at this time is a blatant declaration of war with me, isn't it?"
She suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes: "There are so many branches of the royal family, but no one stands on my side. Do they all want to pull me off the throne and push me into the abyss?"
Manchuan angrily rebuked: "You are a traitor who wantonly tramples on the way of serving the emperor."
Jun Lin's eyelids drooped, and his eyes, which could not tell whether he was happy or angry, became half lifeless. That numb, world-weary look made Minghe and Manchuan feel uncontrollably cold in their hearts.
"Kill him."
The two of them shuddered at the cool and casual voice.
Ming He was confused for a moment before he reacted.
The Empress Dowager was her closest relative and elder, but others did not have this kind of relationship to calm them down. Once they went against Emperor Jing, she would have to use blood to wash away her anger.
"I didn't expect that the Royal Grandmother's incident would bring up so many troublemakers. The sword has no mercy. They died in the war and no one is to blame."
Jun Lin put down his cup and stood up: "I will go and see if these people are worth catching in one fell swoop."
She didn't rest, but went back to the inner room to change back into her dragon robe, then walked out of the bedroom with her hands behind her back and an expressionless face.
Minghe and Manchuan were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ming He sighed: "The Jingguo royal family is going to be purged."
Manchuan was angry at her for not fighting back: "Why can't these people see clearly? Why do they have to provoke Emperor Jing? This girl is vindictive and has all the skills that no one can stand up to. If you provoke her, she will just rush to get killed."
Ming He twitched his lips: "It's different. This time she is really angry."
After the cliff fall, her eyes changed.
Even towards the Empress Dowager, she really wanted to kill her.
The fear of almost losing Minghe, that kind of pain cannot be comforted by one or two lives.
Minghe is half of Dajing's empire, half of her body, and the code of law for tens of millions of people. No one should touch Minghe.
Although she didn't say anything on the surface, the murderous intent in her heart was like a ball that was about to explode from being squeezed.
This time, in the struggle to quell the rebellion, the palace will inevitably be flooded with blood.
When the emperor gets angry, millions of people will die.
Minghe knew all this, and because he knew it, he did not try to comfort her anymore.
It was good to eliminate these royal family members. It would not have much impact on Emperor Jing's reputation outside. The most important thing was that he was happy.
She actually regarded him as so important.
That kind of precious love has made it impossible for him to leave her side for the rest of his life.
Then go crazy with her.
Let's have a good fight.
In order to calm her anger, to centralize power in the hands of the emperor again, and to gather strength and step into the sight of the four countries.
She needs to use an absolute iron-blooded reform to announce to the outside world that she is the only one who is the master of this great scene.
