The emperor might not have thought of Lin Chunhuan's intention at first, but he understood it after a little thought.
This is to pave the way for those female officials.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind such a harmless thought, but now, the lives of the people are at stake, and as a high-ranking official, every decision he makes affects the lives of tens of thousands of people.
At this time, all love has to be put behind.
"Report..."
A young eunuch rushed into the imperial study in a hurry, without even knocking on the door, making the emperor's already unhappy expression even colder.
But the young eunuch was so anxious that he ran so fast that he didn't even know when one of his shoes fell off. "Your Majesty, military news from Yuzhou, extremely urgent!"
Military newspaper!
There is no war in the country, so why is a military report coming at this time?
The emperor's face darkened, and all the ministers felt a pang of fear in their hearts. This was simply one crisis after another, and everyone was sweating in their palms.
The expedited document was delivered to the table, and the emperor, without even looking up, said, "The eldest prince cannot do without someone by his side. The queen may withdraw."
“Your Majesty…”
Lin Chunhuan wanted to say something, but the man sitting high up raised his eyes, and his infinite clarity and sharpness instantly suppressed the words she had not yet spoken.
Unable to bear the pressure, Lin Chunhuan bit her lip and said, "I'll take my leave."
Walking out of the imperial study, the heavy snow blocked people's sight. Lin'er was surrounded by countless maids and servants, and was looked after by a wet nurse. The empress dowager was watching him all day long, worried about everything.
Why does she, as a mother, need to keep watching her all the time?
Letting Caihuan hold the umbrella for him, Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes and walked into the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He wondered what kind of news the military newspaper would bring.
After returning to Kunning Palace, she was preoccupied for a long time. She couldn't even eat a bite of food. Everything seemed greasy to her and she had no appetite at all. She simply asked someone to remove the food.
It’s not uncommon for the two of them to have a few arguments from time to time.
But everyone knew that the Queen was the apple of His Majesty's eye, and it usually wouldn't take long for a letter to come from Wang Youquan, but today, it happened that the message didn't arrive until nightfall.
Not only did the emperor not come, even Wang Youquan's letter did not arrive.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go and ask Eunuch Wang? Maybe there's something that's delayed him." Cuiyun asked carefully.
She had never seen her own queen like this before. She looked as if she had lost her soul and was sitting there blankly, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Only after hearing Cuiyun's words did he come back to his senses.
"No, don't go." Lin Chunhuan shook her head. "Eunuch Wang was willing to befriend us in the past because of His Majesty and my status as Queen, but his master is still His Majesty after all."
"I'm afraid you'll harm him if you go."
Why would she harm him? Cuiyun couldn't quite figure out what it meant, and she couldn't understand why things had become so strange after the Empress went to the Imperial Study, even though they were both fine that morning.
It’s obvious that the Empress used to go to the imperial study often.
The wind and snow seemed to be particularly strong that night. After carrying Lin'er to Xingqing Palace, Lin Chunhuan went to bed very early. The sound of the wind outside was frightening. Although the charcoal brazier in the room was burning warmly, she still couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't know whether her behavior today was right or wrong, but the current disaster situation was far beyond her expectations. If she didn't get this matter resolved, many things might not be able to continue.
It was not until the second half of the night, when he was just beginning to feel vaguely sleepy, that he noticed a sinking spot next to him.
"gentlemen?"
There was some surprise in Lin Chunhuan's tone. The person next to him felt cold all over. Even though they were not close to him, they could still feel the biting cold from outside.
The emperor took a deep breath and warmed himself up before embracing the man in his arms. "It's already this late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I can't sleep."
They both knew why they couldn't sleep. Amid the howling wind and snow, their breathing was very clear. After a long silence, the emperor finally sighed, "Huan'er, I underestimated you."
"Although I have always held you in my heart, it seems that only today have I finally understood that you have great ambitions and aspirations."
"I am willing to stay with you, sir. However, this world is unfair to women. I cannot change everyone's deep-rooted ideas, but I want to give it a try."
Lin Chunhuan's tone was light and soft.
It seemed as if she was not the same queen who was kneeling in the imperial study today with her back straight and her eyes determined.
"Then Yu Hui'er, you put her in Yuzhou, right?"
Lin Chunhuan was surprised to see the emperor suddenly change the subject. He then realized it was probably related to the urgent military report that arrived today. He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Yuzhou has been severely affected by drought and has almost no harvest in the past year. Fighting the snowstorm is more difficult than in other prefectures and counties."
"Although Lady Yu is a woman, after getting to know her, I realized she was capable, so I sent her to Yuzhou. But...what went wrong?"
Lin Chunhuan was a little nervous when asking this question.
No one else knows, Yu Huier is the person she values the most, and no one in Kyoto doesn't even know that the queen is standing behind Yu Huier.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yu Huier's every word and action outside almost represents the Queen's intention. She only made this matter public in the Imperial Study today.
If Yu Huier made a mistake in Yuzhou, the first person to suffer would be her, the queen!
The emperor was silent for a moment. In that brief moment, Lin Chunhuan felt his back straighten to the point of being almost stiff, and then he heard a soft laugh beside his ear, "No."
"Yuzhou is a strategic military location, garrisoned by the Xiao Family Army led by General Xiao. Yu Hui'er, after trying to curb grain prices, was repressed by the Yuzhou governor. She actually went so far as to break into the Xiao Family Army on her own. Huan'er, that girl is truly incredibly courageous."
Yu Huier broke into the Xiao family army? !
Lin Chunhuan was drenched in cold sweat.
That’s a military camp!
Anyone who enters the military camp without reason will be punished as if they were attacked by the enemy, and the officers and soldiers have the right to execute them directly without reporting.
This could cost one's life if one is not careful. Even if there are ten thousand reasons why one must see the general afterwards, if the person is dead, what use are all the reasons!
"First, sir." Unconsciously, Lin Chun's voice was a little trembling, "Master Yu..."
"Don't worry, General Xiao is a man of great ability. Yu Qing's head is still safely on her neck. It's just that Yu Hui'er requested the military to take action. General Xiao knew that this matter was of great importance and had not received any orders from the court, so he reported it to the military newspaper. Huan'er, I am not as good as you in this regard."
Lin Chunhuan's whole body stiffened.
The man lying next to her is the emperor!
He is the supreme ruler who holds the power of life and death over the world!
