Chapter 76: Her Royal Highness, the Princess Who Knows Me
"If Chu Yinyin is killed, there won't be so many problems." The emperor said lightly and stared at Lin Zhaoyue's reaction.
Now that Chu Yinyin is in prison, killing her is as easy as pie.
Lin Zhaoyue pursed her lips, "Father, you can give it a try. Today, there's only Chu Yinyin, but who else will be there tomorrow?"
The emperor's face was gloomy.
He now couldn't help but begin to suspect that Zhao Yue didn't kill Chu Yinyin because he wanted to use Chu Yinyin to depose the prince.
Thinking of this, his heart sank even more.
No one knows a daughter better than her father.
Lin Zhaoyue did not intend to kill Chu Yinyin.
Although Chu Yinyin is the heroine, she is stupid.
The prince and Lu Chenzhou can become "completely unrecognizable" because of a woman, and they can also destroy themselves because of this woman.
One of the reasons why she kept Chu Yinyin was to use her to restrain the two of them.
And another reason...
She just didn't know what the consequences would be if she killed the heroine.
The unknown possibility of killing the heroine made her dare not act rashly.
She had tried to put Chu Yinyin in danger several times without her own hands.
But every time she was safe and sound.
She then knew that Chu Yinyin could not be killed.
In the original plot, I tried to kill and harm her again and again, and ended up dying a tragic death.
She cannot be like herself in the original plot. The closer she is to the development of the original plot, the more she will be pulled by the power of the plot.
Instead of trying to kill her, it is better to use her alive to change your own destiny.
【Actually, I'm also curious about what would happen if the heroine died? 】
[Based on my extensive reading experience, directly killing the antagonist group may trigger the protagonist's halo mechanism, which will lead the plot back to the original path.]
[If he could be killed, the villain would have killed Lu Chenzhou long ago. The protagonist's aura is too strong for him to die.]
[If the protagonist's halo disappears completely, it should have no impact]
[This is difficult. Supporting characters are basically unable to defy fate. As long as they don't break away from the original plot, they will be pulled by the power of the plot.]
[But now it's different from the original plot. Will the plot completely collapse one day? ]
[Yes, the princess will definitely be able to change her own destiny]
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes also darkened.
She bowed deeply again and said slowly, "I have always respected my father. If you need a crown prince, I will find one for you."
Since Lin Zhaoyue returned to the palace as a child, she rarely performed such a grand ceremony to the emperor.
The emperor also always exempted her from etiquette.
Such a grand gift has been rare in all these years.
The emperor just stared at her, his eyes changing from majestic and cold to gradually calm.
"I just hope that you can live a better life. I don't want you to be like your mother. If she hadn't gone to war on my behalf, maybe..." Having said this, the words in his throat seemed to be difficult to say any further.
Daddy really loves the late queen.
"Of course. The late Empress was like Bai Yueguang. When the Emperor was seriously ill and the border was in turmoil, it was the late Empress who went on the expedition to stabilize the situation. At that time, the princess was still in the Empress's womb. Later, she was infected while giving birth to the princess at the border, and she developed a chronic disease. As a result, she died shortly after giving birth to Lin Ye."
[So the emperor's favor towards the princess was probably also a form of compensation, as he didn't want the crown prince's position to fall to someone else.]
He stared at Lin Zhaoyue for a long while, and finally sighed deeply, "Have you made up your mind?"
The original emperor still held out a glimmer of hope that perhaps the siblings would reconcile as before.
But Lin Zhaoyue's eyes just now made him understand.
Things were no longer what he thought.
He had never seen her look like that before.
Full of plunder and ambition.
At this moment, he realized that he could not stop this.
Lin Zhaoyue: "Yes."
After a long pause, the emperor spoke slowly and solemnly, "From childhood to adulthood, no matter what you wanted to do, I have never stopped you. And you have never disappointed me. You are my favorite child and the one I am most proud of."
"As a father, I won't stop you from doing anything, but as an emperor, you must take the country, the people, and the people into consideration. I have no say in what I do."
After a long silence, he said, "I am only waiting for one result."
Lin Zhaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, already understanding what her father meant.
The line of her lips lifted slightly as she said word by word, "Thank you, Father."
The emperor took a deep breath and looked at his daughter again.
But this time, Lin Zhaoyue never lowered her eyes again.
The two looked at each other, and this time, the emperor's mood was different from before.
This re-examination also made him see a side of his daughter that he had never known before.
He even started to get a little curious.
Chu Yinyin’s matter…is it really just an opportunity?
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
He didn't dare to think too much.
【What kind of riddle are the emperor and the princess playing? 】
[I don't know, I didn't understand it either, but it seems like the two of them have reached some kind of tacit understanding?]
[Is the emperor planning to send the princess to marry a foreign prince? Otherwise, why would he suddenly mention the country and the people? ?]
[It seems like the emperor knows what the princess wants to do, but he can't support it or not, so he just waits for the result?]
[The previous explanation is more reliable, it really seems to be the case]
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore." The emperor skipped the topic and said, "Let's talk about Lu Chenzhou."
Just at this moment, a report was heard from outside.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao is here."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned.
The emperor nodded and said, "Just in time, let him in."
As soon as these words fell, a figure slowly walked in from outside.
His tall figure was made particularly heroic and upright by the belt around his waist, and the dark-black official robe looked both luxurious and aloof on him.
He stepped forward and saluted without looking away, "Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded, "No need for formalities."
After standing up, he looked at Lin Zhaoyue.
When she raised her eyes, they seemed to be hooked with poison.
"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
He was very polite and his back was even more bent in front of her than in front of the emperor.
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at him lightly and then looked away.
He was not exempted from the ceremony.
[Oh, Lao Xiao, look at how your waist is almost bent in front of your wife]
[Is the princess sure that the villain won't be pleased with her look?]
[Sometimes I am really confused about the attributes of the villain]
[We perverts are like this, there is nothing we can't do except what you can't think of]
[? ? That's very lifelike]
The emperor was no longer surprised by the aura between the two.
"Your Excellency Xiao Ai has arrived just in time. I have something I would like to ask your opinion on."
Xiao Tingye slowly raised his drooping eyes, stood up straight and turned to face the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The emperor spoke slowly, "Zhaohua and Lu Chenzhou have divorced, and Lu Chenzhou is no longer a consort. Logically, there's no reason for him to remain in the capital. I'd like to know what you two think about the future of the Marquis Xuanping's son."
Lin Zhaoyue spoke first, "Marquis Xuanping holds military power and has seemed to be doing well these past few years, but he's actually been secretly recruiting troops. If Lu Chenzhou were to leave the capital, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains."
Xiao Tingye spoke slowly, "I disagree with Her Royal Highness. Even if Lu Chenzhou were in the capital, he wouldn't pose any threat to Marquis Xuanping. I've recently discovered that Lu Chenzhou is suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. His presence in the capital could actually be detrimental to the court."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Tingye and sneered, "I think you want to kill him when he returns to his fiefdom, right?"
Xiao Tingye curled his lips and said, "No one knows me better than Her Royal Highness. With the heir dead, there is no more hope. What do you think, Her Royal Highness?"
Lin Zhaoyue frowned: "The only thing on your mind is to kill them all?"
emperor:"……"
His daughter and his close ministers just don't treat him, the emperor, as an outsider?
Discussing killing a prince without paying attention to anyone else?
Doesn’t anyone care about the feelings of him as an emperor?
[Hahahaha, the emperor dad is stupid, you two really don’t treat me as an outsider]
[No, you two are openly discussing killing the male lead? Do you really not care about the Emperor's feelings?]
[That's the prince of the Marquisate! The male protagonist!]
[They even ignored whether the Marquis of Xuanping had any ulterior motives and jumped straight to killing the male protagonist?]
[Lao Xiao: All I could think about was killing that despicable man]
Xiao Tingye looked at Lin Zhaoyue, his cold and emotionless eyes showing a hint of barely perceptible emotion only when he looked at her.
His tone was businesslike, "I am only concerned with preventing future troubles for Daxia."
