Chapter 206: Dirty
Naturally, the concubines in the harem were quite resentful of their father's favoritism towards their mother, and since there were vested interests in the court, there were naturally ministers who gave advice.
But my father is very cunning. He always manages to cover it up with other things, or he can tell them a story, or just fool them.
Even though the officials had complaints in their hearts, they could do nothing about it.
If it is excessive.
My father would then make up an excuse for that concubine to murder the queen.
That’s when officials discovered it.
They originally wanted to use their family's daughters to enter the palace to gain benefits for their own family, and even wanted to give birth to a prince to ascend to the throne overnight.
But in fact, she was the daughter who entered the palace.
It is also a knife to check and balance them.
As long as the emperor wants them to die.
They will die.
If you just fabricate a crime for a concubine in the harem, it would be easy to implicate their entire family.
In this way, they dared not mention the matter of favoring the queen again.
At that time, when the emperor came back from court, he would hold her in his arms and scold the court officials.
He also told her: "As someone in a higher position, sometimes you don't need to be so arrogant. Being shameless will make them see how powerful you are."
Lin Zhaoyue remembered these words.
So later, when Princess Zhaohua went to court, if she had a conflict with any official.
She can also be shameless without batting an eyelid.
Of course, there is someone in the court who is even more shameless than her.
The blatant favoritism was the emperor's atonement for the queen mother's inability to be with her alone.
Lin Zhaoyue would not say anything about the relationship between them.
But what she knew was that both of them had done their best to give each other the best.
Even if there are flaws, even if it's not perfect.
But they have both done the best they can for each other within the scope of their respective responsibilities.
"Love doesn't follow the first come first served rule, not to mention—" Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "Your feelings aren't clean either, are they?"
"My Lord, you should know why I divorced Lu Chenzhou, right?"
There is no way Lu Shi didn't know about Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin's affairs.
I'm afraid he has already found out everything.
"As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, like a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who digs holes." Lin Zhaoyue said slowly, "In terms of feelings, Lu Chenzhou and you, Lord Hou, are exactly the same. Lord Hou, what do you think?"
Lu Shi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression looked a little ugly.
"If only you could act as a lobbyist for your son, wouldn't you and your son be the same kind of people?" Lin Zhaoyue chuckled.
This smile was full of irony.
"Although my father has women in his harem, he has never allowed any woman to step on my mother's face. He will not be a waste to use other women to prove his charm and my mother's love for him."
"And anyone who tried to embarrass my mother, or even to pull her down from that position..." She smiled, "none of them met a good end. At least until her death, my mother never got upset with my father because of a woman, and my father never got angry with my mother because of another woman."
"But your mother is dead." Lu Shi's tone suddenly turned cold. "He was the one who killed your mother!"
The knuckles of his fists on the stone table were cold. "It's his incompetence! That's why your mother went to the battlefield and became ill! If she hadn't been ill, she wouldn't have died!"
Lin Zhaoyue could no longer pretend and said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for your mistress and your sister deliberately stopping the imperial physician and delaying my mother's treatment, do you think my mother would have died so easily?"
"If you hadn't deliberately feigned illness, and there was no one available at court, would my mother have gone to war carrying me?"
"Lu Shi, do you think you're worthy of my mother?! At this critical juncture for Daxia's survival, all you can think of is your shameless jealousy, and you don't care about the lives of the people! How can someone like you, who only cares about small principles but not big ones, be worthy of my mother?!"
"Why are you pretending to be affectionate now? Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of it?"
Every word Lin Zhaoyue said pierced Lu Shi's heart, and he stood up suddenly in anger.
His chest heaved violently as he stared at Lin Zhaoyue angrily.
Like an enraged beast, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
[Fuck you, Princess, please hold your tongue for a moment. You are being held captive now.]
[Although the princess is easy to scold, I'm really worried that Lu Laodeng will kill her in a rage! !]
[Of course the princess couldn't stand it. Lu Shi was also indirectly responsible for the queen's death.]
[That's right, he indirectly killed the Queen and spoke ill of her father. How could the princess tolerate this?]
…
After cursing, Lin Zhaoyue slowly drank a sip of tea.
Seeing the man in front of him with his chest heaving violently as if he was going to kill him, he raised his eyebrows calmly.
"Hey, what is the Marquis doing?"
"I just told you a few truths. Your Majesty won't be angry, right?"
Lu Shi felt a surge of energy suddenly rushing straight to the top of his head.
There was a fire burning in my chest.
It took him a long while to calm down his anger.
"I'm very curious about how my son managed to endure this in front of you. I'm afraid he must have suffered a lot in front of you along the way."
The woman in front of me is not only sharp-tongued, but it is also difficult to get any favor from her.
Especially since she was so composed and looked like a dignified superior, she could easily seize the initiative without anyone noticing.
Let you be played in her hands.
She only looks like Huan'er, but her thoughts are much deeper than Huan'er's.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips, "My Lord, I'm afraid this is laughable. As a captive, I should be the one who suffers."
"Aren't you afraid?" Lu Shi narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Zhaoyue.
"Perhaps you will never be Princess Zhaohua again in this lifetime. You should know my son's determination to bring you back. There is no way he will let you leave."
"And given the current situation in Xiling and the imperial court, it is also impossible for me to let you leave."
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Lu Shi with an indifferent look as if looking down on all living beings.
"I am the princess of Daxia, whether alive or dead. I have nothing to fear."
Lu Shi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness has suffered enough and can't say such words anymore."
Lin Zhaoyue just had a faint smile on her face.
That smile seemed to be mocking his ignorance and his self-righteousness.
Suddenly, Lin Zhaoyue spoke lightly:
"If the Marquis wants to do something to me, why not ask the Prince?"
Lu Shi frowned.
At this time, Lu Chenzhou's angry roar had already sounded.
"Dad, what are you doing!"
Lu Chenzhou walked over quickly with a gloomy look on his face and stood in front of Lin Zhaoyue.
To be precise, it blocked Lu Shi's sight.
Lin Zhaoyue lowered her gaze and calmly took a sip of tea.
"This tea is not good," she said.
Lu Chenzhou frowned and immediately said, "I'll have the servants change them later."
Lin Zhaoyue didn't say anything, but slowly stood up, called Mingxi over, and accompanied her into the room.
