Yue Lingyin's delicate body trembled, and she suddenly raised her head like a frightened deer, looking at Wei Jinzhi who was gradually approaching in astonishment.
His eyes were cold and deep, like a chilling pond, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The Queen Mother took my betrothal gift. Shouldn't she give me an explanation?"
Yue Lingyin stood up suddenly and handed the Square Sword over in panic: "Give it back to you."
Wei Jinzhi refused to respond: "The Queen Mother wants to kick me out after using me?"
Yue Lingyin asked, "Then what do you want?"
It's just a broken sword. I'm still at a loss.
Ignoring Dong Lizheng's unpleasant expression, Wei Jinzhi bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is in her prime. It would be a shame for her to waste her life within the palace walls. I fell in love with her at first sight, and since she has accepted my betrothal gift, I beg Your Majesty to release her from the palace and marry me."
Dong Lizheng's face couldn't be any darker. His already stern expression now looked even more majestic, and his eyes revealed an uncontrollable anger.
"I don't care what happened between you. She is the empress dowager now. There has never been an empress dowager in history who remarried."
Wei Jinzhi was unwilling to give up: "As long as Your Majesty agrees, I will arrange everything.
"That's impossible." Dong Lizheng suppressed his annoyance. "A royal daughter-in-law should never marry again. She belongs to my Dongli family in life and will be a ghost of my Dongli family after death."
"Nothing can be changed at all?"
"cannot."
"What does the Queen Mother think?"
Yue Lingyin realized that Dong Lizheng would protect her, and her attitude became arrogant. She put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll return the Four Directions Sword to you. I don't have anything extra. If you don't agree, hit me."
Wei Jinzhi looked at her with a half-smile. Yue Lingyin immediately hid behind Dong Lizheng, feeling a little embarrassed, and made a face at him again.
Dong Lizheng enjoyed her dependence and his expression brightened. He picked up the square sword and handed it to Wei Jinzhi: "The Queen Mother is young and playful. You have nothing to lose. I think we should just leave it at that."
There was no loss, and he even took advantage of her.
But Wei Jinzhi's goal was to marry her, which seemed difficult to achieve now, so he planned to start from other aspects.
The National Day will be coming soon, maybe he can ask Dong Lizheng to let the Queen Mother leave the palace.
There are many people in the court who stick to the rules, and his proposal alone is not enough.
Wei Jinzhi thought of Shen Qingchen. If he stood on his side, his chances of winning would undoubtedly be higher.
Shen Qingchen knew from the moment Wei Jinzhi was looking for someone that he was looking for Yue Lingyin, but he did not say anything. He wanted Wei Jinzhi to be a pathfinder and see how Dong Lizheng would react.
As expected, Wei Jinzhi returned empty-handed and the matter ended in nothing.
Shen Qingchen was dressed in white and spotless: "I can promise you this, but there needs to be a rule. During this period of time, you can't go to the palace to disturb the Queen Mother."
Wei Jinzhi had a strange expression on his face. How did he know that she had feelings for Yue Lingyin, and how did he know that she wanted to sneak into the palace?
Of course Shen Qingchen knew that, and he himself wanted to sneak into the palace.
"Can General Fuguo agree to this?"
"Of course." He still knew the difference between momentary happiness and lifelong happiness.
………………
The days passed slowly. One night, after Yue Lingyin and Dong Lizheng had sex, she felt a strange taste in her mouth. She tore off the cloth covering her eyes and couldn't help but spit it out.
Dong Lizheng's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
Yue Lingyin's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, "What did you give me to eat? It's salty and fishy, not tasty at all."
Dong Lizheng held her in his arms lovingly, poured her a cup of tea to rinse her mouth, and said distressedly: "It's my fault."
Yue Lingyin rinsed her mouth several times until there was no taste in her mouth. Her expression finally looked a little better, and she expressed her dissatisfaction to Dong Lizheng.
"If you do this again next time, I won't play with you."
Dong Lizheng has a soft heart. She looks so pretty even when she is angry, just like a kitten, so lovable.
He quickly assured: "I won't do that next time."
"That's more like it." Yue Lingyin fell drowsy on the bed. Dong Lizheng hugged her sideways, and soon the sound of steady breathing came from beside her.
She fell asleep.
Dong Lizheng kissed her on the cheek and closed his eyes.
The next day, Yue Lingyin was still listless. Dong Lizheng came back from court and found her still sleeping. He sensitively sensed something was wrong and summoned the imperial physician.
Imperial Physician Lin came over quickly, but Dong Lizheng interrupted him while he was about to salute.
"Keep your voice down. The Queen Mother is sleepy. See what's going on."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Lin took a handkerchief and placed it on Yue Lingyin's wrist and began to take her pulse. Suddenly, his face changed and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He suspected that he had made a wrong diagnosis, so he felt the pulse again and it was still the same.
"How is it?" Dong Lizheng's voice unconsciously became a little nervous.
Imperial Physician Lin was sweating profusely and suddenly knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I am not very skilled. Please allow my colleagues from the Imperial Hospital to help with the diagnosis and treatment."
Is it that serious? Dong Lizheng's face was extremely gloomy. "What on earth is going on?"
Imperial Physician Lin knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, trembling with fear: "I am not proficient in my skills, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Dong Lizheng imagined that Yue Lingyin had contracted a very difficult disease, and his mood became increasingly heavy.
"Come here, bring over all the people on duty at the Imperial Hospital today."
He tried to remain calm, thinking that there was strength in numbers and the Imperial Medical Bureau was full of talented people, and they would definitely be able to find a way to cure Yue Lingyin.
The Chief Medical Officer of the Imperial Hospital came with the Chief Judge of the Left Court, followed by seven or eight other imperial physicians.
The chaotic sound of footsteps woke Yue Lingyin up. She sat up drowsily: "What's going on? Why are there so many people here?"
