Chapter 404: Your Highness Meets Her Majesty the Queen
Jin Weige's voice was trembling, she was crying, and her eyes were full of pleading.
"I will try my best." Jin Zhi had only one thought in his mind at this moment, and that was to rush to the border, fight hard with the barbarians, and capture a few cities!
When the great victory at the border came and the emperor rewarded the meritorious people, he took the opportunity to plead with the emperor to lift the confinement of his sister!
As for my sister's future position, if she can win the emperor's favor again, promotion is not impossible.
But all of this will probably take at least a few months.
"Wei Ge, I'm going to the border to earn military merits. Even if everything goes well, it will take at least half a year. During this half year, you must take good care of your body and don't act rashly. Do you understand? Otherwise, I'm far away at the border and can't protect you at all."
"I...I understand, brother."
Jin Zhi patiently comforted her for a long time, and finally calmed her down a little.
"You must take your medicine on time and take care of your body. As long as people are still alive, there is hope. If even you are gone, then there will really be nothing. You and the emperor have known each other for so many years, and you were so loving in the past. I don't believe that the relationship between you is completely broken. Maybe there will be a turnaround."
Jin Zhi tried to comfort her, but Jin Weige just smiled bitterly and shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "No, brother. After so many years of getting along with him, I know him too well. Once he hates someone, he will never change his mind."
For a moment, the brother and sister were speechless.
"In short, you must take good care of yourself." Jin Zhi broke the silence and took out a few silver bills from his sleeve. Each bill had a face value of one thousand taels. When piled together, there were at least five thousand taels. "You are no longer the imperial concubine who was surrounded by people and respected by everyone. You will definitely need a lot of money in the future. If these are not enough, just tell me and I will have someone send more to you."
Jin Weige silently took the banknote and held it tightly in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
Jin Zhi looked at her haggard appearance, still worried, and reminded her again, "Also, you must remember, never provoke Bai Wutong again! She is now the queen, holding the Phoenix Seal, commanding the six palaces, and has tremendous power, which is no longer comparable to the past. What's more, she has the crown prince by her side. In this deep palace, she is unparalleled and the only one in power. If you go against her again, you will only bring yourself endless troubles."
"I understand, big brother, please don't say anymore." When Jin Weige heard Bai Wutong's name, he became extremely excited, like a conditioned reflex.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Just keep it in mind. It's not convenient for me to stay in the palace for long. Please take care of yourself. Now there are only you and me left in the younger generation of the Jin family. I really don't want to see anything happen to you again."
When Jin Weige heard this, she felt sad and tears blurred her eyes again.
If my father were still alive, if the Jin family was still glorious and prominent, how could the emperor dare to treat me like this?
Even if the Jin family had not lost so many people on the battlefield back then and their power was still strong, I'm afraid even the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be wary and not dare to provoke them easily!
Thinking of this, Jin Weige's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Jin Zhi, "Brother, there were rumors that the emperor..."
"Shut up!" Jin Zhi's face suddenly changed, and he interrupted her harshly, "You are really confused. How dare you say such treasonous words? Watch your mouth. If this word gets out, our Jin family will be completely finished!"
Jin Zhi didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned around and left quickly.
Jin Weige suddenly came to her senses after being yelled at, and realized that she had almost gotten into a big disaster.
But when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she felt more and more that those rumors might not be groundless.
Previously, several soldiers of the Jin family died in battle, and there were rumors in the capital that the emperor was afraid that the Jin family held military power and intended to use the battlefield to get rid of them.
At that time, she was deeply trapped in the maze of love and believed in the emperor without a doubt. In addition, Jin Zhi had never mentioned this matter, so she regarded these rumors as nonsense and laughed them off.
But now, thinking back on the emperor's ruthlessness towards her and thinking about what happened to the Jin family, many signs seemed to point to a terrible truth.
The emperor can be so cruel to his own wife, so how could he show mercy to the Jin family who hold a large number of troops?
What's more, in recent years, Jin Zhi has emerged in the army and has become increasingly outstanding. The presence of those veteran generals may really become a concern for the emperor.
Two generals came out of one family, both of them were outstanding men and the best in the army. Whoever sits on the throne would probably feel uneasy!
"Maybe... it's true..."
Inside Fengyi Palace.
The aroma of tea wafts in the air.
Bai Wutong leaned lazily on the carved chaise longue, holding a white jade teacup, sipping the freshly brewed tea in a comfortable posture, enjoying the honorific treatment that only a queen could have.
Now that she had finally stood at the pinnacle of power in the harem, she had finally realized how completely different her life as a queen was from the past!
You no longer have to rack your brains to scheme against others, nor do you have to worry about disasters that may come at any time. Now every day is a leisurely and enjoyable one.
No wonder countless women throughout history have been vying to become the queen. The improvement in quality of life is simply beyond imagination!
At this moment, Chan'er walked into the inner hall in a hurry.
She leaned over slightly, got close to Bai Wutong's ear, lowered her voice, and spoke a few words quickly.
Bai Wutong's originally calm face showed a smile, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he whispered softly, "I didn't expect that Jin Zhi was so quick and came to the palace so quickly."
Before he finished speaking, a shrill and long announcement came from outside the palace, "Empress Dowager, General Jin wants to see you——"
Bai Wutong's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, his face full of surprise.
Jin Zhi?
How dare he come to see me?
Ever since the purse incident, she and Jin Zhi had kept their distance tacitly. Whenever they met at various palace banquets, they both avoided each other deliberately and rarely even made eye contact.
But now, he actually came to visit on his own initiative, which was really beyond Bai Wutong's expectations!
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, raised her hand to tidy up her hair, and said, "Let him in."
When talking about Jin Zhi, Bai Wutong felt very complicated.
It is undeniable that the opponent is indeed a rare general.
But in Bai Wutong's heart, he is also a pain that he can never let go of.
Back then, Jin Zhi brought herself, her father and her mother into the palace out of good intentions, thinking that they would live a good life and Jin Weige would have company. However, he did not expect that this would trigger a series of accidents, leading to the tragic death of her parents!
From then on, in Bai Wutong's eyes, Jin Zhi became one of the sinners who killed his loved ones, even if he did not mean to do it!
Just as I was thinking about a lot of things, I heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Bai Wutong looked up and saw Jin Zhi wearing a black suit, with an upright posture, and the familiar Wang Decai beside him.
He walked to the center of the palace, lifted up his skirt, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud and respectful voice, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
