Chapter 329: The New Emperor x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 12

"Yeah." Thinking of the scene when she was rescued by Dabai, Qiao Jinjin felt inexplicably angry.

"If it weren't for Dabai, I would have been killed by the people who chased me. How could I have entered the palace and become your queen?"

When Jun Molin heard this, he looked away with a guilty conscience and shouted to Liu Cheng who was not far away, "Who was it that chased the empress back then? Give him fifty lashes of the cane!"

Liu Cheng lowered his head and couldn't help curling his lips. "Yes, I will give the order now."

Qiao Jinjin was very happy, and she hugged Dabai and said coquettishly, "Dabai, I miss you so much. Can I come to see you every day from now on?"

Jun Molin felt so sad in his heart that he wanted to take Jin Jin Qiao away right now, but it was he who suggested coming to see Dabai, so he could only bear it.

General's Mansion

"General, Miss Yu is awake."

General Sima was practicing boxing. He stopped when he heard the servant's report, took the handkerchief handed to him and wiped the sweat off his face casually.

"Oh? You finally woke up. Come with me to visit Miss Yu. I'm sure she will be very grateful to me for saving her."

Yu Ling leaned weakly on the bed, drinking the medicine fed to her by the maid. Although she had many doubts in her heart, the person in front of her was a maid after all.

"Excuse me, where is this?"

The maid must have been told in advance, and she replied gently, "Miss, this is the general's residence. The poison in your body has been cured. It was General Sima who saved you."

"General Sima?" Yu Ling frowned slightly. Although she had met General Sima several times, they had never spoken. How could he save her?

"Hahaha, Miss Yu finally woke up. Now I can finally feel relieved." While Yu Ling was thinking, General Sima walked in led by servants without even saying a word.

Yu Ling didn't think much of it, after all, this was General Sima's territory, so Yu Ling sat up and prepared to get out of bed to salute.

General Sima quickly stopped Yu Ling's action and said, "Miss Yu, you don't have to be polite. Just treat it like your own home here. There are no so many rules."

Yu Ling still asked the question in her heart, "General, why did you save me? You should know that I was going to be killed by the emperor. If you do this, it will be bad if the emperor finds out."

General Sima waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hey, I've already taken care of it. The emperor won't know about it."

"The reason why I saved you is because I think you did the right thing. The princess of the previous dynasty is indeed not suitable to be the queen of our Da'an Dynasty."

He stared at Yu Ling and observed her from head to toe. "If I were to say, Miss Yu is more suitable to be the queen."

General Sima's words touched Yu Ling's heart. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"

Then his eyes dimmed. "But the emperor doesn't like me and even wants to kill me for the princess."

General Sima's eyes gleamed and he said, "I support you, but before you can become the queen, you must first deal with the current queen."

Yu Ling pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "But what can I do? I have nothing now. Determination alone is useless."

General Sima stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Miss Yu, I support you, but you will have to work harder."

Yu Ling nodded firmly and said, "General, do you have any ideas? Tell me, I will fully cooperate as long as I can."

General Sima was pleased and said, "Well, it's good that you have this determination. You can rest for a few days and I will arrange for you to enter the palace and find a way to get closer to the queen. Then you can do it yourself."

Yu Ling hesitated, thought for a moment and said, "But the Emperor will find out about this."

"Not really," General Sima said calmly, "The Queen has never seen you, so you don't have to serve her, as long as you can get in touch with her."

Yu Ling understood General Sima's intention. If he wanted to get rid of the Queen, he had to use her, who had a deep hatred for the Queen. Otherwise, it would be the same as last time, where the plan was clearly well planned but was betrayed.

"Don't worry, General. I've died once before. There's nothing to be afraid of. The worst that can happen is that I'll lose my life."

General Sima was very satisfied with Yu Ling's attitude. He nodded and said, "Not bad. I just like Miss Yu's temperament. You should take good care of your body first. If you need anything, let us know. Miss Yu comes first."

At night, General Sima's confidant came back to report to General Sima after handling the matter. He said with a serious face, "General, I found out that the emperor is trying to suppress you. Although it was done very secretly, I still found out."

"Hmm?" General Sima's eyes sharpened, and he glanced at his confidant and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor has already started to act. It seems that the queen means a lot to him."

The confidant nodded and said, "That's true. The Emperor either handles state affairs or goes back to Guanghua Palace to accompany the Empress."

"I also heard that the Emperor punished the people who chased and killed the Empress in order to vent his anger on her."

"Really?" This was really good news for General Sima. "The emperor is confused. His actions will surely disappoint those who work for him. Now is a good time for me to win people's hearts."

"Please prepare some gifts. I will go and see those who were punished tomorrow. I believe they will be of great use to me."

The confidant knew General Sima too well. The general was indeed a master at winning people's hearts. Although those who were punished were all ants, they still understood the principle that enough ants can eat an elephant.

General Sima personally visited these officers and soldiers, which was a great honor to the punished officers and soldiers. They knelt down to pay their respects without caring about their injuries.

General Sima immediately helped them up, his tone full of pity, "No need to bow to me, you both hurt me."

"I have brought some golden medicine for wounds. Apply it on your wounds. They will heal faster."

The officers and soldiers were so moved that they almost kowtowed to General Sima.

General Sima sighed and said, "The emperor was confused this time. He gave the order himself. How can he blame you?"

"I have already said that the former princess is not suitable to be the queen of our Da'an, but the emperor refused to listen. Now, he has been bewitched by the former princess. Our Da'an is in danger."

Several officers and soldiers looked at each other and became a little anxious. If the empress still cared about it, they would be in trouble in the future.

"General, you must think of a solution. We were beaten with a stick yesterday. It shows that the queen holds a grudge. We are afraid that we will have no good days in the future."

"Hahaha," General Sima laughed, "You said this to me, I think you trust me very much. Of course, I will not ignore you, because I don't want this Da'an to become the Da'an of the former princess in the future."
