Lu Zhixing held Song Yushu's hand, feeling down, "It's me who got you into trouble."
At this time, Lu Zhixing even regretted dragging Song Yushu into this huge vortex.
Originally, she had nothing to do with all this. She could be free, find a satisfactory husband, and live the life she wanted.
Song Yushu shook his head. "It's not about who is implicating whom. If it weren't for you, would I still have the power I have now? You believed in me so much that made me who I am today. How come you have no faith in me now?"
In this era, if you have no money and no power, you will be at the mercy of others.
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you..." Lu Zhixing choked and couldn't speak. The frustration in his heart began to surge again.
The deeper the love, the greater the worry. If Lu Zhixing hadn't loved Song Yushu to the core, he wouldn't have been so worried.
No matter how much he said, it couldn't change the current facts. Song Yushu didn't say anything else, but hugged Lu Zhixing.
It has to be said that Song Chun's reminder was very timely. Just when Song Yushu was comforting Lu Zhixing, Lin Zong came to the Empress Dowager's palace with a message from Old Master Lin.
"Nephew pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Lin Zong was also a perceptive man. He used to be very arrogant when he saw the Empress Dowager, but now he started to play the emotional card.
The Queen Mother twisted her Buddhist beads with her eyes half-closed. "Your father is seriously ill. Why did you come to the palace instead of serving him at his bedside?"
"My father may feel that his time is running out and he misses you a little, so he asked me to come and visit you." Lin Zong was worthy of being raised by Old Master Lin himself. He was not angry at the Queen Mother's response but sighed instead.
Thinking of having a sister like yourself at this time? The Queen Mother snorted inwardly, but did not show it on her face. "Well, I am thoughtful. Just tell your father a message: Don't worry too much. Eat good food and think good thoughts now."
The old man of the Lin family had been angered by Lu Zhichen several times and was already at the end of his strength.
"Father is only worried about my nephew's future. I am unfilial. Even at this age, I still cause you worry." Lin Zong fell to the ground with a plop. "Because I mistakenly trusted Prince Yu, the Lin family suffered heavy losses. I beg Auntie to punish me!"
"What are you doing? Lin was just implicated in Prince Yu's affair, and the emperor didn't say much. Don't worry." After all, the queen was the emperor's biological mother, so even if Lin fell, it would not affect her in any way.
Lin Zong didn't stand up, but continued, "Prince Yu has fallen, and the Lin family has lost their credibility with Your Majesty. Our century-long reputation has been overturned at this moment. To avoid death, I, your nephew, intend to resign and return to my hometown in Xuyang. This time, I am offering my resignation to Your Majesty."
He actually threatened to dismiss her from office! The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, her eyes full of murderous intent, "Is this your father's idea or yours?"
"This is the result of a discussion among the elders of the Lin family. There is still a chance to escape from the world now." Lin Zong was not in a hurry. After all, as the Queen Mother, she could not meet the elders of the Lin family.
The Empress Dowager has always been very concerned about her reputation since she was young. If she didn't have a prominent family in Kyoto, it would be a disgrace to her.
This is also the reason why the Lin family can be so arrogant in Kyoto. After all, there is an ancestor in the palace.
"You bastard!" The Queen Mother finally couldn't help herself and threw the teacup on the table to the ground. "Are you threatening me?!"
Lin Zong kowtowed calmly, "My nephew has absolutely no such intention!"
It is absolutely impossible to let the Queen Mother let go, but it is also absolutely impossible to let her help openly.
"Don't talk so much nonsense. What do you want to do by coming to the palace today?" The Queen Mother took a deep breath. Her lifelong enemy was her own family.
"My nephew really just came to the palace to visit the Empress on behalf of my father, and by the way, asked the Empress to persuade Prince Jing to come to the Lin Mansion to see my father as he has not much time left. After all, Prince Jing is the child that my father cares about the most." Lin Zong sighed slightly, as if he was a child who was really concerned about his father.
The Lin family has a legacy of selfishness and coldness. The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "So you're waiting for me here."
For some unknown reason, Prince Jing had not been to the Lin Mansion for a long time. He must have known how cold Old Master Lin was towards him.
The Queen Mother never tried to persuade him. After all, Old Master Lin had already fallen out with Prince Jing, and if she fell out with him too, the Lin family would be completely doomed!
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. I just want to fulfill my father's last wish." Lin Zong bowed solemnly.
The Queen Mother stared at Lin Zong, who was sitting below her, for a long time. Finally, wanting to preserve the Lin family's position in Kyoto, she said indifferently, "I will handle this matter myself. You may withdraw."
Lin Zong didn't dare to argue anymore and could only retreat, then went to the queen's palace.
"Aunt doesn't agree?" The Queen stood up suddenly and went to the Queen Mother's palace with a frown.
Lin Zong glanced at the palace maid beside the queen, who immediately grabbed the queen and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."
"You've been the queen for such a long time, how come you haven't made any progress in strategy?" Lin Zong was humble in front of the empress dowager, but had the final say in front of the queen.
The Queen glanced at Lin Zong, feeling angry but unable to contain herself. She snorted coldly, "Brother, you do have a plan, but the Queen Mother hasn't agreed to it yet!"
"The Queen Mother will agree." Lin Zong calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "I didn't come to you to ask you to go to the Queen Mother's palace, but to ask you to find a way to hold back that eunuch named Song."
Because of Prince Yu, the Lin family had lost most of their people. He had no cards left and could only ask the Queen to send someone.
"Brother, you are becoming more and more timid. Do you need me to intervene for just a eunuch?" The Queen snorted disdainfully, feeling that Lin Zong was humiliating her.
"Yes, he's a eunuch. Calculate how much you've suffered at his hands? Do you want me to calculate them one by one?" Lin Zong looked at the queen with contempt.
The spies planted in Prince Jing's palace were completely cleared out by the eunuch Song Yushu, and no one could be planted again.
The queen's face froze, and she could only glare at Lin Zong. After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "That eunuch is now an imperial censor. How can I touch him?"
The censor of the Supervisory Council is the emperor's eyes. No matter who Song Yushu relies on, touching him is equivalent to declaring war on the emperor!
Lin Zong smiled slightly, "Who asked you to touch him?"
"What is that?"
"You just need to make sure Song Yushu is too busy to enter the Lin Mansion."
At this time, the Lin Mansion could no longer touch Song Yushu openly, nor did they have the ability to do so secretly. They could only use the queen's status to suppress Song Yushu.
