In the wing room, following the servant's suicide, the situation became tense. Just as the Marquis of Yongding was about to speak to break the silence, a maid's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, Your ...
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongding and General Yu looked at each other, both of them with a look of confusion.
Summoned by the Empress?
Could it be that the empress has already known what happened in the Marquis' Mansion and is convinced that the two of them were plotting against the Crown Princess?
Are you eager to protect your child?
Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.
…
In the other wing, Lin Xiaoman, who had made plans for the future, stood up and patted her clothes. She wanted to show her skills, but before that, she had to study the "Divine Phoenix Manual" first.
I have money and power, now all I need is martial arts.
As a hardcore player, you must find a martial arts master.
Lin Xiaoman, who was about to go back to the mansion, said to the maid waiting outside, "I have something to do, so I will go back first. Please say goodbye to the Marquis for me."
"Yes, Your Highness." The maid responded respectfully.
After saying that, Lin Xiaoman took Qingfeng and strode out. Following the road, after many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Then, before Lin Xiaoman even stepped out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he saw two royal female guards riding on fine horses and galloping towards them.
As they got closer, they reined in their horses and the royal female guard gracefully dismounted. She knelt on one knee in front of Lin Xiaoman and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests that you return to the palace immediately."
"My Queen Mother is looking for me for something urgent?" Lin Xiaoman's face was full of doubts, but he was sighing in his heart that Empress Huangyuan took action so quickly!
"I don't know."
"Got it. I'll go back now."
Lin Xiaoman quickly reached the place where the carriage was parked, got into the carriage and returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Lin Xiaoman was taken to the imperial study.
The golden imperial study is particularly domineering.
At the top of the room, there is an exceptionally noble golden nanmu dragon table. Behind the table stands a man, holding a white jade brush, writing on the bright yellow imperial edict with a flamboyant and unrestrained manner.
The Empress Huangyuan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, had sharp features and a sharp face, and her whole body exuded the majesty and dominance of a superior.
"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother." Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but feel a little timid.
No, no, no, it must not be her who is cowardly, it’s the original owner! Yes, it’s the original owner!
"Wait!" She replied without even raising her eyelids, and continued to write calmly.
"yes."
Lin Xiaoman quickly stepped aside, then pretended to be invisible, watching his nose and his heart, very quiet, not daring to breathe hard.
Unlike most middle-aged women in Tianhuang who have thick waists and big shoulders, Empress Huangyuan is thin, but her thin body reveals an unignorable, subtle pressure.
Lin Xiaoman could clearly feel that once this pressure was no longer suppressed and exploded, it would definitely not be something that ordinary people could withstand.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
The storm is coming!
Don’t be fooled by Empress Huangyuan’s calm expression on the surface. She might be furious right now!
If she hits the wooden door, she will be cut to death!
Lin Xiaoman stood there trying to minimize her presence for about a quarter of an hour before she heard the inner court maid announce, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yongding and the General of the State are requesting an audience outside the palace."
She continued to write as if she didn't hear anything until the last stroke was put down. Then Empress Huangyuan stopped writing, and then she picked up the jade seal at hand and stamped it heavily on the imperial edict. At the same time, Empress Huangyuan's eyes fell on Lin Xiaoman.
It was just a faint look, but it made people feel more stressed.
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but take a breath and felt that the air had become several degrees colder.
Anyone who can become an emperor must be capable!
The Empress of Huangyuan spoke slowly, her voice soft but resounding, full of majesty and a sense of urgency. "If you disobey my order, you will be killed without mercy! Yu'er, do you remember this?"
Feeling a chill on his neck, Lin Xiaoman quickly said, "Your Highness will remember my teachings."
Lin Xiaoman understood immediately that it was most likely an imperial decree granting the marriage, and if she dared to make trouble this time, she would have her head chopped off!
Hit her!
After giving that warning, Empress Huangyuan leaned back and sat in the large and precious dragon throne.
After sitting firmly on the high platform with full of momentum, Empress Huangyuan said to the maid in the inner court, "Call them in."
"yes."
The inner court maid retreated and soon returned, followed by four people.
Lin Xiaoman kept quiet and took a quick look. It was Marquis Yongding and General Yu, and behind them, each followed a second young master.
The second son of the Su family, Su Rongxian, was just as the original owner remembered him, dressed in white clothes as white as snow and with an ethereal air.
That face, which seemed to have been beautified with a ten-level filter effect, was truly graceful and stunning at first sight!
With such good looks, she is worthy of being a Poseidon VIP who has her feet on so many boats!
However, after being amazed at the first sight, Lin Xiaoman started to complain in her heart. He looked like a weak chicken, like a willow in the wind. Besides, he was only slightly taller than her, 175cm at most. She could kill this pretty boy with one punch!
The second son of the Yu family, Yu Ziqian, was truly a towering figure, seemingly approaching 190cm tall. Even his loose clothing couldn't conceal his muscular build, brimming with ambition and intensity. His face, reminiscent of General Yu's, was even more masculine and cold, appearing even more sharp and fierce. Add to that a faint scar, about two inches long, at the corner of his right eye, and he exuded a fierce and bandit-like aura.
In modern times, he would definitely be a handsome man, but in this era, thin and feminine men are popular. Judging from the aesthetic standards of this era, he is really ugly.
Lin Xiaoman silently recalled the information given by No. 75. Yu Ziqian was doing very well during the war, but later he ended up being abandoned after his exploits.
Oh, you were wrong. He didn’t die. His military power was taken away from him, and he became an idle official with no real power.
After the four entered, they knelt in unison and said in unison, "Your Majesty, your servants pay their respects!"
The Queen of Huangyuan sat still and said nothing.
Without hearing the words "stand up", the two sharp men, Marquis Yongding and General Yu, immediately realized that something was wrong. It was over and they would be punished.
General Yu and Yu Ziqian, as the victims, were both worried and angry. They were worried that the empress would misunderstand that they were plotting against the Crown Princess, and they were angry at the bastards in the Yongding Marquis' Mansion.
Compared with General Yu, Marquis Yongding was more anxious and frightened. She had asked about it on the way to the palace. Even though Su Rongxian did not admit it, Marquis Yongding still saw the clues and knew that the fall into the water was related to her second son.
It was over, it was over. If the Empress kept on harping on this, their mansion would be doomed. What should they do? Should they deny it or admit their guilt and give up their second son?
The most frightened among the four was undoubtedly Su Rongxian. Although he was scheming and resourceful, he was still no match for the experienced empress. He suspected that the empress had already seen through the truth. Su Rongxian was already sweating under his clothes.
