With the emperor's words, Lin Chunhuan felt much more at ease.
When I woke up the next day, the seat next to me was empty and even the quilt was cold. I guess the emperor passed away quite early.
Lin Chunhuan didn't care. He endured the pain in his body and called Ke'er in.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Ke'er asked doubtfully while combing Lin Chunhuan's hair. "Even if you've been kneeling in the ancestral hall for several days, you should be better after resting for half a month."
"Why is it that the young lady's walking posture is still a little strange?"
Lin Chunhuan: “…”
What could she say? The emperor had no self-control, and she left feeling refreshed. But she, on the other hand, was truly… refreshed!
Fortunately, before Lin Chunhuan could think of how to answer such an embarrassing question, Lin's mother had already hurriedly knocked on the door, "My son, are you up?"
Lin Chunhuan responded and motioned Ke'er to open the door.
When Mother Lin saw her, she took her hand and said, "Huan'er, tell me the truth, what happened between you and His Majesty?"
"No, mother, why do you ask? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Chunhuan was still confused, while his mother was so anxious that tears were about to come out. "Ten imperial guards suddenly showed up at the mansion. They stood in the front yard without saying anything. I've already sent people to look for your father."
"These Royal Guards are the emperor's personal guards. They look murderous, they..."
Lin's mother was so anxious that she could hardly speak.
It's no wonder she was nervous. Throughout history, when the Imperial Guards came to your house, it was either to confiscate your property or to arrest someone, which was never a good thing.
Even Lin Chunhuan was surprised. Although the emperor said that he would allocate manpower to her, but... ten imperial guards, wasn't that too exaggerated!
"Don't worry, mother. Those people were sent by the Emperor to protect my daughter, not to capture anyone."
Before Lin's mother could figure out what had happened to her daughter and why she needed to be protected by the Imperial Guards, Lin Chunhuan had already happily lifted her skirt and went to the front yard.
It just so happened that Lin's father had also returned home. Feeling the murderous aura of the ten men, he also had a headache and was standing in the front yard at a loss.
"Father, you're back."
Before Lin's father could reply, the ten men in front of him knelt down in unison, bowing towards Lin Chunhuan with the highest military salute. "Subordinates, we pay our respects to the Queen!"
Lin Chunhuan: “!!!”
This is not even settled yet, why are you shouting about it!
Although the emperor did have this idea, as long as the imperial edict to confer the title of empress did not come down and the ceremony of conferring the title of empress was not held, she would not dare to call herself the empress!
Otherwise, if you are caught by someone with ulterior motives, it will be fatal!
"You guys." He didn't care about Lin's father's shocked look. After a moment of confusion, he immediately helped the leader up. "Please don't call me that. I can't bear it!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! You are all good men of the court. How can you kneel before a girl like me? Hurry up and get up!"
When the ten royal guards heard this, they looked at each other in confusion.
When the emperor sent them here, he made it very clear that the people they had to protect were the Queen Mother and the Empress. Even if a hair was missing, they would be beheaded!
Why hasn’t the queen admitted it herself?
However, the Royal Guards didn't think too much about it. After all, it was the Queen who asked them to stand up, and they had to obey the Queen's orders.
Father Lin hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Huan'er, this is..."
"Don't worry, father. The emperor has something for his daughter to do, and these people are here to help. It won't take long, and I'll be back soon!"
She couldn't explain what she needed to do, and she even used the Royal Guards. Without waiting for Lin's father to ask any more questions, she turned around and ran away with her men.
Only when he stood outside the gate of Yuan's mansion did he truly smile. He turned to look at the commander beside him and said, "Captain Meng, knock on the door."
The door of Yuan's mansion was suddenly opened by thunderous knocks. Yuan Shaojun, who was rushing to open the door after hearing the servant report that someone was causing trouble, was stunned when he saw Captain Meng's face.
"Captain Meng? Why are you here?"
Yuan Shaojun is now a deputy captain in the Changhong Army, which is a rank lower than that of a captain.
Although the Changhong Army and the Imperial Guards are both stationed in the army, the Imperial Guards are the emperor's close ministers, and the gap between them is quite small. Rounding it off, Captain Meng is his immediate superior!
Captain Meng said nothing, stepped aside, and revealed Lin Chunhuan behind him.
Lin Chunhuan raised the corners of her lips and saluted gracefully, "Mr. Yuan, long time no see."
"It's you."
Seeing that stunning face, Yuan Shaojun swallowed subconsciously, his greedy emotions revealed uncontrollably.
But when he thought about how this woman had cheated on him and climbed up the social ladder, he felt even more ashamed and angry. "How dare a divorced woman have the nerve to enter the Yuan family? How shameless she is."
"Mr. Yuan, thank you for your praise."
Lin Chunhuan was neither annoyed nor angry, and could even laugh. "Compared to Master Yuan's behavior of forcibly depriving my Lin family's dowry and refusing to return it, I, Lin Chunhuan, still dare not compare myself to you, Master, for your shameless reputation."
What a joke! The divorce papers have already been signed. Do you really think she is still the submissive wife of the Yuan family?
If she doesn't expose the Yuan family's true colors today, her trip will be in vain!
It was already quite late, and such a grand event had already attracted a crowd of passers-by.
The news of the divorce between the Yuan and Lin families was not new. Any passerby who liked to join in the fun had heard of it, but it was just as the emperor said.
Any family with any dignity would not do such a dirty thing as withholding a woman's dowry.
As soon as Lin Chunhuan said this, many people pointed at Yuan Shaojun at the door.
Although Yuan Shaojun was a loser, he had been protected by the general in the past few years, and Lin Chunhuan was there to shield him from behind. He had never seen such a scene before, and his face immediately turned red with shame.
The look he gave Lin Chunhuan became even more vicious. "What nonsense are you talking about! When did my Yuan family withhold your dowry?"
Just as Yuan Shaojun said this.
Yuan's mother had already rushed over with the support of Jiang Linglong.
"Here." Lin Chunhuan raised his chin and pointed towards Jiang Linglong. "That's what Master Yuan's good cousin is wearing on her hand. But it's the bracelet my mother personally made for me at Cui Yu Fang three years ago."
"A whole piece of white jade, made into a set of jewelry, is worth a hundred gold coins. If someone has a good memory, they probably still remember it. Master Yuan wouldn't be so forgetful, would he?"
Jiang Linglong was stunned when she heard this and subconsciously looked at the bracelet on her hand.
She didn't know where this thing came from, she only knew that it was a good thing given by her cousin, and she was happy for a long time. Then she heard that Lin Chunhuan brought people to cause trouble.
That's when I took it out and put it on.
Unexpectedly, before she could show off, everyone's eyes fell on her hands.
