Chapter 240: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 84
Long Lin checked Ji Yunhuan from head to toe, and only felt relieved when he was sure that Ji Yunhuan was not injured.
"Okay, stop crying. You're breaking my heart. The Queen Mother has plenty of servants around her, so why would she need you to serve her? I already know Huan'er is very filial. If you're afraid, don't come to Yongshou Palace anymore. I won't blame you."
Ji Yunhuan nodded obediently, and leaned in Long Lin's arms and said gratefully: "Your Majesty is so considerate, I will listen to you."
The Queen Mother listened to the two of them singing the same tune and the anger in her heart began to bubble up.
She had experienced ups and downs in the harem for so many years and finally secured the position of empress dowager. She had defeated so many women, but she had never seen a mad dog like Ji Yunhuan!
She didn't see how Ji Yunhuan was afraid. Ji Yunhuan was so arrogant just now!
The Queen Mother started coughing violently. This time she was not pretending. She seemed to have a real fever.
The emperor finally turned his gaze to the empress dowager. He still held Ji Yunhuan in his arms and did not perform any salutes, nor was he too lazy to even go through the motions.
"If the Queen Mother has nothing to do, I will take the Queen away first."
The Queen Mother said angrily, "How dare you! I am your mother, and you are talking to me like this?"
Long Lin had a mocking smile on his face. "There is no one else here, and I am not here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother doesn't need to act like a loving mother and a filial son."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her head felt dizzy. The saying that a man forgets his mother when he marries a wife is indeed true.
In the past, the emperor was very respectful to her. He would come to pay his respects to her on the first and fifteenth days of every month. If he got any good things, he would send them to the Yongshou Palace. Now, just after a woman cried and complained to him, he dared to disobey her blatantly!
The Queen Mother pressed her forehead, her face showing pain, "Emperor, please look carefully, it was she who hurt me first, and then she beat my people like crazy. Look at the people in this yard, they were all beaten by her!"
Long Lin glanced at her indifferently, and his cold gaze made Nanny Jiang break out in a cold sweat.
"I saw it. You outnumbered us and bullied the few. My queen was naturally afraid and she may have accidentally hurt someone."
The Queen Mother cried out in grief, "Lust makes one lose his mind! Your Majesty is a wise ruler. How can you believe the Queen's one-sided words? She is unruly and deliberately hurts people. Your Majesty should punish her."
Long Lin sneered, "She should be punished. Nanny Jiang committed a crime of insubordination and injured the Queen's body. Considering that Nanny Jiang has served the Queen Mother for many years, I don't want her head, but the death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot be escaped."
"Someone! Send Madam Jiang to the laundry department and demote her to the lowest rank of palace servant. She will never be able to serve the Empress Dowager again in her lifetime."
The Imperial Guards had entered the Yongshou Palace at some point, and as soon as the emperor spoke, they blocked Nanny Jiang's mouth and dragged her away.
Ji Yunhuan leaned against Long Lin’s arms and sobbed, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for standing up for me. It’s not just Nanny Jiang, they all bullied me. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have been caught by them long ago. I might not have lived to see Your Majesty…”
The Queen Mother felt dizzy and fell into a chair, gasping for breath and shouting: "You...you are talking nonsense! When did I want to kill you? I just want to teach you some rules, just to make you more virtuous and generous..."
"Alright! Queen Mother, you don't need to say more. I don't want to hear it either. I am devoted to the Queen and will remain so until death. Even if the Queen Mother selects concubines to enter the palace, I will not touch them."
"I still have government affairs to attend to. I will come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother another day."
Long Lin was too lazy to argue with the Queen Mother, so he picked up Huan'er, tiptoed over the wall of Yongshou Palace, and soon disappeared.
"Empress Dowager! Are you okay, Empress Dowager?" The purple-robed nanny pinched the Empress Dowager's philtrum, feeling extremely panicked.
The Queen Mother was splashed with water and hit on the head. She was so shocked and angry that she fainted.
This time the Empress Dowager was really ill and had a high fever, but the Empress came to Yongshou Palace and showed off her power, but nothing happened to her and she escaped unscathed, and even received the Emperor's pity.
The emperor did not summon the queen to accompany him tonight. He went straight to Yunhe Palace carrying the queen.
"Okay, stop pretending to cry. You're not acting like it at all. You can only fool me for a while."
Ji Yunhuan slid from Long Lin's arms to the bed, hugged the quilt and laughed, "Don't you think so? I think I acted pretty well."
Long Lin got on the bed and grabbed Ji Yunhuan, saying seriously, "Don't move. I want to interrogate you. Tell me why you went to Yongshou Palace. You started to mess around when I wasn't in the palace!"
Ji Yunhuan twisted and turned in Long Lin's arms, dissatisfied, "What do you mean by nonsense? The Queen Mother asked me to go, and she also said that she would enrich your harem. Of course I am not happy. What about the two women that Princess Rong'an brought into the palace? Are they still in the palace?"
Long Lin held down Ji Yunhuan's two restless hands, held her in his arms, and chuckled:
"You jealous bastard, I have already ordered them to be thrown out of the palace. Princess Rong'an is not allowed to enter the palace in the future, lest she always makes trouble for you."
"Don't interrupt me. You obviously didn't have to go. Don't put yourself in danger in the future. The Queen Mother is very shrewd. She just didn't understand your tricks today, so you caught her off guard. When she comes to her senses, you will be no match for her."
Ji Yunhuan nestled in Long Lin's arms without saying a word. She really wanted to help Long Lin get rid of the Queen Mother.
Today is just a test, she will not let the Queen Mother go!
Long Lin knew at a glance that Huan'er didn't listen. He sat on the edge of the bed and easily pressed Huan'er onto his legs.
There was a soft snapping sound.
Long Lin patted Ji Yunhuan's butt and said sternly, "You are not allowed to go to Yongshou Palace anymore. Do you hear me?"
Ji Yunhuan didn't feel any pain, but her little face turned red.
Long Lin, this bastard! How dare he spank her!
Ji Yunhuan tried to hit Long Lin with her teeth bared, but it was of no effect. Long Lin was not afraid of pain at all. Ji Yunhuan was very angry and grabbed Long Lin's hand and bit it hard.
Long Lin was unmoved. He patted Huan'er's butt again and said coldly, "Answer me, do you still dare to go to Yongshou Palace?"
Ji Yunhuan tasted blood in his mouth and shook off Long Lin's hand with a "Puh". Two rows of teeth marks appeared on the back of Long Lin's hand.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Ji Yunhuan said sullenly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Anyway, I don't like Yongshou Palace."
Long Lin slapped him again, this time with more force, and warned him, "Don't be so reckless in the future, or I'll beat you again."
As soon as Long Lin let go, Ji Yunhuan jumped down immediately, his eyes full of anger, staring at Long Lin fiercely.
"You hit me! How dare you hit me! My parents have never hit me, get out! I don't want to see you!"
Long Lin regretted his decision after the beating. Huan'er's eyes turned red with anger, and she looked even more pitiful than when she was pretending to cry just now.
"I was wrong. Come here and let me see if it hurts."
Ji Yunhuan subconsciously touched her buttocks. It didn’t hurt and the injury wasn’t serious, but it was extremely insulting. She was really angry!
Long Lin tried to coax Huan'er for a long time but failed to calm her down.
He suddenly had an idea and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his perfect body with eight abdominal muscles. He said to Ji Yunhuan shamelessly:
"Okay, don't be angry. At worst, I'll let you fight back, okay?"
