"No way?" Ningyue couldn't believe it. This matter had become so serious, and Concubine Lin could still get away with it?
The queen remained silent, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem to have any expectations.
She had been fighting with Concubine Lin for so many years, and every time, Concubine Lin had the upper hand and suppressed her.
Logically speaking, now that the Lin family is in trouble and Concubine Lin is no longer in her heyday, she should be happy.
But for the queen, there is a feeling of being in the same boat.
The Lin family is a noble family. After the emperor ascended the throne, almost all members of the Lin family stood on the emperor's side.
Although she is the queen, her family is not as obvious as the Lin family.
More often than not, my grandfather and father chose to protect themselves and would not easily take sides.
Only in this way can the children of the clan be guaranteed safety.
But in the end, he is loyal to the emperor.
Now that the Lin family incident has happened, I believe many people will weigh the pros and cons in their hearts.
If all the favorites of the emperor end up like this, then what will happen to their future?
The queen felt sad, not only for herself, but more for the emperor's future.
She is the queen, and no matter what happens to the emperor in the future, the same consequences will be waiting for her.
Therefore, she had no way and no ability to make the second choice.
This is why she couldn't be happy.
The queen's compassion was not groundless. Soon, Lin Si was convicted, but the condemnation of Li Qingzheng's case was not over yet.
"Let the Imperial Concubine pay with her life! The Imperial Concubine is the mastermind behind this. Let the Imperial Concubine pay with her life!"
"The Lin family is not a good family. They killed more than just Li Qingzheng! And that imperial concubine, bah! What imperial concubine? She is clearly the evil concubine who caused chaos in the court. Let her pay with her life!"
"Execute the imperial concubine to atone for Lord Li's sins!"
The public outcry against Concubine Lin remains high.
Even the Lin family's past acts of bullying were exposed.
Every single one of them is outrageous!
Among them, Concubine Lin did not take human life seriously. Countless palace maids and eunuchs died at her hands, especially those palace maids who were a little pretty. They would be severely tortured by her before they died. It was really cruel!
"What's going on? How could those untouchables know these things?!"
Concubine Lin was under house arrest, and in her own bedroom, she smashed things crazily to vent her anger.
The palace maids knelt on the ground, fragments scratching their cheeks. They didn't dare to move, letting the blood flow down, staining the floor red...
"Investigate! Go and investigate for me, who is behind this? Is it the Queen? That's right, it must be the Queen. As long as I fall, she can be the Queen!"
The palace maids were so frightened that they dared not even breathe freely, for fear that they would accidentally bump into the muzzle of the gun.
It was the personal maid Liu Ye who saw that the imperial concubine was almost insane, so she cautiously echoed:
"Your Majesty, it must have been the Empress who did this. She has always been jealous of you being favored by the Emperor, and she will definitely not let this opportunity go."
Concubine Lin's gaze paused, and her emotions calmed down a little. "Yes, her family and my family are sworn enemies. This time, they must have been involved!"
Concubine Lin felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. She had suffered so much, and not only did the emperor not come to comfort her, he even had her confined!
The Lin family has worked so hard for so many years, is this the only outcome they have?!
The verdict on my brother has been announced. There is both witnesses and evidence. Just like Li Qingzheng was executed back then, he should be executed immediately!
That was her brother, her biological brother, a living life!
Doesn’t the emperor feel any guilt at all?
"I want to see the emperor. Come here, I want to see the emperor! When I go out, let me out!"
Concubine Lin was rambling and on the verge of madness.
Liu Ye held her tightly to prevent her from stepping on the debris on the ground in a moment of impulse.
Although people outside say that Concubine Lin is under house arrest, her good days are definitely over.
But Liu Ye didn't think so, because although the emperor was under house arrest, he had no shortage of food and drink.
She had seen a concubine who was truly under house arrest, and it was not like this at all!
Therefore, the Imperial Concubine must be different in the Emperor's heart!
"Empress, calm down. You must calm down at this moment. The master and the young master are still waiting in prison. You are their only hope!"
Liu Ye was a maidservant who came with Concubine Lin and entered the palace with her.
The emperor did favor Concubine Lin. Even she, a maid, was ranked higher than other palace maids after entering the palace.
The harem is the most realistic place in the world. No matter what your background is, the emperor's favor is above all else.
And Concubine Lin was once the person standing the highest!
"My Lady, please think about your family, think about the old master and the young master who are still suffering. If you fall too, they will really be helpless!"
Liu Ye was telling the truth. Concubine Lin was only under house arrest, but her status and title had not changed at all.
This is enough to prove that the emperor treats her differently.
As long as she manages it well and takes advantage of the emperor's favor towards her, even if it means saving the lives of the master and the young master, it will be fine!
Concubine Lin's crazy look gradually faded, and amid Liu Ye's desperate shouting, her sanity gradually returned.
"You're right."
Concubine Lin's eyes were empty, but behind that emptiness, a fire was burning.
A fire full of hope!
"Only I can save my father and brother. I cannot give up. I must find a way to rescue them first!"
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Before, she was the one who was obsessed with trivial matters and always wanted to exonerate her father and brother.
But what the emperor said before was right. What has been done cannot be undone. Even if it is wiped out completely, it will eventually be found out.
Just like the case of Li Qingzheng, who could have thought that the wife who had personally testified against Li Qingzheng would rather be convicted than retract her confession after so long?
"I understand, Liu Ye. There is something that only you can do now."
Concubine Lin wiped away her tears and cheered herself up.
She gave Liu Ye detailed instructions and asked her to announce to the public that she was too worried about her family and fell ill, so she wanted to invite a royal physician.
She was only under house arrest, not abandoned to the cold palace.
Even if the people in the palace were servile and condescending, they still had to consider this point. Therefore, as long as she was still a noble concubine, they would not dare to act rashly.
At least, I don't dare let anything really happen to her!
Liu Ye nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry. My life was given to me by the Lin family. Even if it means risking my life, I will bring the imperial physician here!"
