"If I'm not mistaken, Emperor Yan will make his move against us within three hours!"
"It's time for the political climate in the capital to change!"
He, his second sister, and Madam Zhou should head to the border to reunite with General Zhou's army.
A storm is coming.
At the same time, Lin Jiaoyun also received an imperial summons from the palace.
The moment she learned that she was to enter the palace to meet the emperor, her mind went completely blank... Enter the palace?
Why is she going to the palace?
Lin Jiaoyun was both surprised and delighted, completely unaware of what had happened.
After all, given the Lin family's status as fourth-rank officials, they would have no idea what was happening in the Golden Phoenix Palace.
She thought it was some great thing, and excitedly touched the cheap jewelry on her head. Then she looked down at the old-fashioned fabric on her body, wanting to dress up, but she didn't even have any decent jewelry.
It's all Zhou Cheng's fault!
They practically emptied the Lin family's collection of gold, silver, and jewelry!
This forced her to stay indoors, afraid to go out. After all, she could no longer show off her expensive jewelry to her girlfriends; going out dressed so shabbily would surely invite ridicule.
"Miss Lin, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come with me to the palace to meet the Emperor!"
Lin Jiaoyun snapped back to reality in surprise: "I... I'm dressed like this, could you please allow me to change into something else...?"
"Do you think you're going to the palace to choose a concubine? You even need to change your clothes!" Eunuch Ma said with a stern face and a very sarcastic attitude, "If you dare to delay the emperor's audience, you'll lose your head. Get out of here."
Lin Jiaoyun felt incredibly aggrieved.
She was dressed in an old-fashioned and outdated style, and her makeup was so cheap that she could only afford the worst quality. She also had no jewelry on her head.
How could she possibly showcase her beauty and captivate everyone in the palace?!
With this mindset, Lin Jiaoyun was forced into the palace.
As soon as Lin Jiaoyun stepped into the Golden Phoenix Palace, her heart pounded, and cold sweat broke out on her back from nervousness.
From a distance of several dozen meters, Lin Jiaoyun saw the Yan Emperor sitting on the supreme throne. He was so majestic and domineering. This feeling of being high above everyone else made Lin Jiaoyun's eyes glaze over.
"So you are Lin Jiaoyun, the daughter of the Lin family?" Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, asking with an air of authority.
After realizing what was happening, Lin Jiaoyun immediately knelt down and bowed, replying in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, I am Lin Jiaoyun. May I ask what brings Your Majesty here?"
Lin Jiaoyun's face was flushed, both nervous and excited.
She could feel the gazes of all the ministers present on her.
Oh, right!
There was another, more obvious gaze, belonging to a young man in a python robe, who must be the Crown Prince!
Oh my god.
Is His Highness the Crown Prince looking at me?
Could it be that he was captivated by her own stunning beauty, summoning her here to perhaps arrange a marriage between her and the Crown Prince?
Lin Jiaoyun, flattered by Zhou Cheng, became completely oblivious to her own status and actually believed that she was as beautiful as a fairy, and that even the Yan Emperor and the Crown Prince could be captivated by her.
But I never expected this!
The next second,
The Crown Prince then poured cold water on her enthusiasm, saying, "Lin Jiaoyun, your father summoned you here because he has something to ask you."
"As far as I know, you have been very close to Zhou Cheng for the past three years. The two of you have even considered getting engaged, and you have been frequently visiting the Zhou residence."
"You know the Zhou family so well, and you know Zhou Cheng so well, have you ever heard any secrets from Zhou Cheng? For example, about General Zhou's treason and rebellion. You should think carefully before you speak!"
