In the dim prison, the queen consort who used to be high and mighty no longer had her previous compassionate look. Seeing Tuoba Ling suddenly appear in the prison, she stood up angrily, with a hideous and distorted expression on her face. She wished she could skin and bone Tuoba Ling to relieve the hatred in her heart.
"You lowly wolf cub, you already knew it, didn't you? You knew everything but you said nothing, just to get rid of me and my son?"
Tuoba Ling looked at the Queen Consort quietly and sneered, "Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been bloodless. Mother, you should know this, right?"
Tuoba Ling emphasized the word "mother" very much, as if he was mocking the Queen Consort.
Seeing that the Queen Consort remained silent, Tuoba Ling continued, "But you're not at a disadvantage, are you? You've wanted to kill me for a long time. Since your hands are stained with blood, you should be prepared to be retaliated against one day."
The Queen Consort looked at Tuoba Ling through the prison bars and said hatefully, "I should have killed you and fed you to the wolves. You are indeed a cub raised by wolves, and your blood is cold to the core."
"Tuoba Ling, you are a lonely man. Even if you sit on the throne of Khan, what does it matter? Can your bitch mother come back to life? When you fall asleep and close your eyes, will you feel scared when you see those people you killed?"
"The Queen is a dying woman, so there's no need to worry about whether he'll be scared, right?"
Qin Yanning walked out from Tuoba Ling's body. Only then did the Queen Mother notice that the attendant who followed Tuoba Ling in was actually Qin Yanning.
She had been in the harem for many years and was no fool. In a split second, she understood everything. She pointed at Qin Yanning and cursed, "So you, little bitch, have been hooking up with that wolf cub for a long time. Well done, well done, you are all great."
Qin Yanning leaned in Tuoba Ling's arms and watched the Queen Mother go crazy. She didn't forget to add a knife, "I forgot to tell you that the reason why the old man went to your bedroom was because of my persuasion."
"Without the medicine you gave him, Tuoba Xiao wouldn't have died so quickly. Guess who else helped you?"
The Queen Consort originally thought that Tuoba Xiao's death was due to her failure to control the dosage of the medicine. But after hearing Qin Yanning's words, she realized, "It was you, the little bitch, who drugged me!"
"So I lost..."
The Queen Consort's hair was disheveled, and in the dim prison, she looked like a devil that had just crawled out of hell. Tuoba Ling raised his hand to cover Qin Yanning's eyes, fearing that he would scare the girl in his arms.
Qin Yanning tugged at Tuoba Ling's sleeve, but this time he did not push Qin Yanning away impatiently.
Qin Yanning whispered, "Let's go out."
In the darkness, Tuoba Ling took Qin Yanning's hand. There were thick calluses and crisscrossing scars on his palms, but Qin Yanning only felt a sense of security when holding his hand.
Before leaving, Qin Yanning turned around and glanced at the Queen Consort. She did look very pitiful at the moment, but Qin Yanning would not have any sympathy for her, because she knew that if she and Tuoba Ling were the losers, the Queen Consort would definitely have more means to deal with them than these.
After the Queen Mother and the two princes were executed, Tuoba Ling held a not-so-grand succession ceremony.
Ministers and royal family members also accepted the fact that the Khan could not have offspring, but as soon as Tuoba Ling ascended the throne, he did something that surprised everyone. He actually wanted to enthrone Qin Yanning as his queen.
-------------------------------------
When the news reached Qin Yanning's bedroom, Qin Yanning was playing cat's tuck with Yuzhu. Nanny Ming, who was standing by, couldn't help but shook her head when she saw her indifferent look.
If this little princess of his family was not competitive, she would have caught Tuoba Ling's eye quietly. But if she was competitive, then whoever won the catfight would be more important than Tuoba Ling's decision to make her the queen.
Qin Yanning heard Nanny Ming's sigh and couldn't help but look at the white-haired old lady. He wondered if she would cry again if she saw Concubine Lin, and he also wondered if the old lady's body could bear it.
As for the fact that she would be crowned as the queen, Qin Yanning really didn't care much about it. Tuoba Ling was the new emperor, and she had been Tuoba Xiao's concubine. Even though there had always been a custom in the desert of the son inheriting the father's throne, it would take some effort for her to sit on the throne of the queen.
Compared to this, she was more concerned about meeting Miss Lin tonight.
Qin Yanning played cat's tuck with Yuzhu a few more times, then went to rest on the pretext of being sleepy. Everyone thought she was worried about the queen's coronation, so they all retreated cautiously.
Qin Yanning slept soundly. She dealt with the greasy old man Tuoba Xiao, and Tuoba Ling ascended the throne at the lowest cost. She could finally relax a little.
It was not until dusk that Tuoba Ling came to Qin Yanning's bedroom. Qin Yanning changed his clothes and went out to greet him. He immediately locked his eyes on the middle-aged woman in a cloak standing behind Tuoba Ling. Nanny Ming naturally also saw Concubine Lin. She wanted to step forward with trembling hands, but was afraid that others would notice anything unusual, so she had to suppress her emotions and stopped talking.
The other palace maids from Dazhang rarely saw Concubine Lin, who used to live in seclusion, so they did not notice anything wrong.
Qin Yanning raised his hand to signal Yuzhu and others to leave, leaving only Nanny Ming to serve him. After everyone entered the house, Nanny Ming's tears fell uncontrollably.
Lady Lin shed tears as she watched her daughter, who looked much more plump than she had been in the Dazhang Palace. She threw herself into Qin Yanning's arms and hugged her tightly. "Girl, why didn't you tell me anything? Even if you wanted to take risks, I wouldn't stop you. You've done so much without telling me. Aren't you feeling bitter and tired?"
Tuoba Ling knew that they would have something to talk about after meeting each other after a long time, so he tactfully went to the outer room and left the space for a few people.
Qin Yanning patted Concubine Lin and took her to the couch to talk. Concubine Lin had finally stopped crying, but after seeing the gray-haired Nanny Ming, she couldn't help crying again.
She originally thought that Qin Yanning had married far away in the desert and they would never have the chance to meet again in this life, but she did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events. Qin Yanning actually sent someone to take her out of that hopeless palace.
From then on, Dazhang no longer had an insignificant beauty Lin, but the world had a free and easy Lin Yue.
Lin Yue looked at Qin Yanning who was sitting in front of her and sighed deeply.
