Lin Wanqing, who used to be so humble in front of Wei Xuelin that she always bowed her head, now sat high above him in white, looking down at Wei Xuelin with an air of dominance, waiting for him to bow.
Since becoming the Goddess of Bei Li, Lin Wanqing has had a particular fondness for wearing white.
Wearing white made her feel noble and sacred, which was more in line with the qualities of a goddess.
Wei Xuelin looked at Lin Wanqing in this state, somewhat dazed.
Although his second brother and he were not born of the same mother, they were still members of the Wei family.
When my second brother died, my father sent people to arrest Lin Wanqing and her parents, but to no avail.
In the blink of an eye, the person they were hunting down had become the Queen of Bei Li, someone the Wei family could no longer kill at will.
Let alone Lin Wanqing, even the Wei family wouldn't dare to mess with her parents now.
When interests are at stake, some things become unimportant.
Wei Xuelin was lost in thought and hesitated to kneel. Alan spoke up from the side, "Lord Wei, why do you not kneel before the Queen?"
Alan's voice brought Wei Xuelin back to his senses. He knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Seeing the person who once looked down on her now kneeling before her, Lin Wanqing felt extremely comfortable and slightly raised her head.
"Lord Wei, you must be tired from your journey. Please rise. There's no need for such formalities."
After Wei Xuelin stood up, he clapped his hands, and a servant carried in a tray covered with a red cloth.
After Wei Xuelin lifted the red cloth, there was a pearl the size of a bowl inside.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from my father to you. I hope Your Majesty will not find it offensive."
Lin Wanqing glanced at Dongzhu, gestured for Alan to accept it, and said with a smile, "Lord Wei, you're too kind."
Her sense of pride grew even stronger; she had gone from being someone the Wei family wanted to kill to someone the Wei family wanted to curry favor with.
Indeed, things in this world are ever-changing, and the pursuit of power is indeed the only constant throughout history.
"Lord Wei, I wonder how General Su's mansion is doing now?" Lin Wanqing asked.
Wei Xuelin knew what Lin Wanqing wanted to know. Although he had left the capital, he still knew some of the happenings in the capital.
"The Su family has been proven to have been framed, and they have all been reinstated."
Lin Wanqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "The Su family is really lucky, Lord Wei, don't you think so?"
Wei Xuelin respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the Su family is a pillar of the Great Chu, and their arrival is a good thing for the Great Chu."
"Oh, really? Lord Wei, why bother with these hypocritical platitudes in front of me?" Lin Wanqing exposed Wei Xuelin's pretense without hesitation.
Wei Xuelin didn't feel embarrassed at all, and smiled, "I wonder if the Queen has summoned me to the palace today to have any instructions?"
Lin Wanqing glanced at Alan, who understood and led the other palace servants away, leaving only Lin Wanqing and Wei Xuelin in the hall.
"Lord Wei, let's not beat around the bush. I know that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and General Su's mansion have always been irreconcilable enemies. Young Master Wei, there's no need for you to put on an act in front of me. Why don't you cooperate with me, and together we'll bring down the Su family?"
"Your Majesty, what are your plans?" Wei Xuelin asked directly, no longer beating around the bush.
After Lin Wanqing finished explaining her plan, Wei Xuelin was completely shocked and even looked at Lin Wanqing in disbelief.
He initially thought Lin Wanqing was just trying to use some underhanded tricks to frame the Su family, just like before.
But he never expected that Lin Wanqing had such a plan, which was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
“Lord Wei, I know that your elder brother is currently the acting commander of the Mohan border army. Once Su Wenzhou returns, he will have to obediently hand over his command, and the Mohan army will once again become the Su family army. Moreover…”
Lin Wanqing paused at this point, then chuckled, "Lord Wei, you must know better than I how Mo Han's defense map ended up in the possession of a Northern Li person. If you were to tell me that I leaked this information to the Great Chu, what would General Wei do?"
