For a moment, Lin Chunhuan didn't know which question to answer from Yan Ming, so he just put the wine jar farther away.
Yanming's physical condition has always been poor. She was originally the best dancer in Hongxiu Tower, but as long as she moved for a long time, she would become exhausted and sweat profusely.
She clearly had the best talent, but had to give up her favorite dance. Helplessly, she could only pick up poetry and books and create a reputation for herself as a talented woman.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to live a more relaxed life in Hongxiu Tower.
"Don't think too much. We have done what we should do. Let's leave it to fate as to what happens next." Lin Chunhuan spoke in a gentle tone. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yanming's hair.
Things like that are extremely intimate and ambiguous, and are emotions they dare not express in front of others.
There was a flash of surprise in Yanming's eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. He just quietly looked at those eyes that were so beautiful under the moonlight.
"You've suffered a lot over the past year."
With a slight sob in her throat, Lin Chunhuan forced a smile. After she recovered her original memory, she immediately realized the unusual relationship between this body and Yanming Shijian.
It’s a pity that such feelings will not be accepted by the world.
And what they have to do does not allow them to have any disputes over their identities and relationships.
So from the very beginning, both she and Yan Ming, who had entered the palace, knew that there were some words that could never be spoken in this lifetime and were destined to be taken into the coffin.
The sky was getting light.
The Regent sat in the main seat in the main hall with a grim expression. When he saw the sunlight shining on his face, he squinted his eyes in discomfort.
Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened. Yan Ming did not return all night, and many things had already been answered.
"Someone come."
When he opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, but it did not affect the Regent's majesty at all. Someone immediately hurried in and said, "It's just as your Highness expected."
"The Qian Lin army of Hejian has already led its troops outside the city and is confronting our people. It seems that the emperor will..."
"Alright." Before the man could finish his words, the Regent raised his hand and said, "Get ready."
"Let me go! You..."
Before the Regent's subordinates could respond, Qinghe, who had not been seen for a long time, was escorted into the house by the butler and several servants. The butler was holding a small bundle in his hand.
As soon as she saw the Regent, Qing He burst into tears and crawled to the Regent's feet on her hands and knees, "Your Highness, Your Highness... These villains are committing treason. You have been busy lately, and they will try to force me."
"I have already decided that I will only be your woman for the rest of my life, Your Highness. I really don't want to commit myself to anyone else, but these people, seeing that I refuse to obey, actually, actually want to slander me. You must help me!"
Qinghe didn't notice that when she was saying these words, the housekeeper who brought her in didn't say a word, but just looked at her with disdain in his eyes.
That look was as if he was looking at a fool.
Even the servants had similar expressions. After Qing He finished her tearful sobbing, the Regent raised his eyes and looked at the butler with a gloomy expression, "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the prince, Concubine Lin has taken a lot of banknotes and gold and silver jewelry with her, intending to leave the palace. I don't know what to do with her, so I can only bring her here."
"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously you..."
"Your Majesty..."
Before Qing He could finish her words, a pair of big hands as hard as iron pliers had already tightly grasped her neck. In just a moment, the thin air made it difficult for her to breathe normally.
His eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
Qinghe thought that even if she was discovered while escaping, there were plenty of ways to exonerate herself. At most, she would be punished, and at worst, she would lose her position as a concubine.
Compared to treason, which could cost you your life, escaping would not endanger your life at all.
But the Regent in front of her didn't even have any expression on his face, let alone any room for pleading. Qinghe was a little scared, and the fear of death gradually surrounded her, leaving no room for compromise.
"You women in Hongxiu Tower are really brave enough to betray me."
A cold murderous intent spread, and Qinghe wanted to shake her head and show her loyalty.
But the feeling of suffocation was so strong that it made her mind confused. She could no longer hear the sounds around her ears, let alone speak a word.
What does the Regent mean by this?
Besides her, is there anyone else who escaped?
It was Yanming! It had to be that woman Yanming. If it weren't for that woman, how could the prince not have entered her courtyard for several months!
Good, Yanming is gone, the prince will definitely continue to dote on her in the future!
Qinghe could no longer think about what happened next.
Looking at Qing He, who had completely lost consciousness in his arms, the Regent threw her to the ground like a rag, and wiped his palms with a silk handkerchief in disgust. "Since we are going to raise an army, we should naturally reward our soldiers well."
"There's a shortage of military prostitutes right now, so let's send her over as well."
With an indifferent tone as if it had nothing to do with him, the Regent lowered his head and didn't even look at Qinghe who was being dragged away.
Qinghe didn't know what had happened. When she woke up, her whole body was in sore pain. Just as she was about to move and get up, she found that there were several pairs of hands touching her!
“You… who are you!”
She wanted to scream in fear, but the pain in her neck made it difficult for her to make a sound. Soon, waves of stench surrounded her and she could no longer utter a word.
Qinghe still died.
The regent's army was quite strong. Although he lost a lot of troops in the process of beheading the emperor, it was generally smooth. He portrayed the regicide as justifiable in the name of purging the royal bloodline.
But the regent was not that strong. When the young master of the Jin family army, whose family was confiscated and exterminated fifteen years ago, raised the banner of rebellion and supported the real princess to succeed to the throne, the regent, who had already lost most of his troops, was completely vulnerable.
The remaining remnants of the army ran away or escaped, and no one cared about the military prostitutes who were used as tools in the barracks.
Not knowing which disease infected her, Qinghe watched herself rot away bit by bit and died in a foul stench.
"No, that's not right! It shouldn't be like this!"
In March of the following year, just after the New Year, the coronation ceremony was about to be held. In front of the court officials, a woman with a cold and arrogant face and an upright posture stood out, like the moon surrounded by stars, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Lin Chunhuan and Chunyu beside him watched this scene from a distance.
However, now she is no longer a precious concubine in the harem, but the first female prime minister in history personally appointed by the Crown Princess!
