Chapter 128: A Contribution to Future Generations

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slender and powerful fingers rhythmically tapped the handle of the phoenix chair again and again.

"The evidence of Concubine Lin's murder of the Empress is solid, and she is awarded the title of White Silk. Concubine Shu's palace was searched for prohibited items, and she violated palace rules, so she was demoted to Concubine."

When Concubine Lin heard the three words "Give Bai Ling", it was as if all her strength was drained away from her, and she collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were full of despair, and her eyeballs were wide open as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

No, no, it was the Queen. The Queen did it on purpose. It was the Queen who made her do this...

At this time, Su Jingyao finally heard the result that satisfied her.

She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of pride flashed across her face.

"I never thought that Concubine Lin would hate me so much. I wonder what kind of parents would raise such a cruel and ruthless daughter and send her to the palace to become a concubine."

At first, Concubine Lin didn't understand the implication of the Queen's words. She was about to die, so was there any need for the Queen to continue to mock her?

Before Concubine Lin could think about it, Su Jingyao continued, "Your Majesty, I heard that the current head of the Lin family made Concubine Lin's aunt his second wife two years ago."

"I don't know how Lord Lin's second wife taught Concubine Lin. She actually dared to harm the heir to the throne and even tried to frame Princess Mingfei (Shufei) of Yuehui Country."

After listening to the Queen's words, Concubine Lin suddenly realized that the Queen wanted to implicate her mother and her family?

After hearing this, Jun Zechen also felt that the Lin family was not worthy of being a noble family.

"Princess Lin is guilty of treason for plotting to kill the heir to the throne. She is also guilty of framing Concubine Ming, which is an attempt to sow discord between the two countries. The Lin family is really bad at educating their daughter."

"An Shun, give the order to order Lin Zhenguo, the father of Concubine Lin, to divorce his wife and take back all the titles of the Lin family. All the people in the Lin family will be demoted two ranks."

Lin Fei was terrified. She used her hands and feet to crawl in front of Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao, her mouth wide open.

Her voice was filled with endless fear and pleading: "No, no, Your Majesty, it's all my fault. Please forgive my mother and the entire Lin family."

Jun Zechen's face remained expressionless, as if Concubine Lin in front of him was just an insignificant stranger.

Concubine Lin turned to the Empress again, her eyes full of pleading: "My Queen, I beg you, I have done many wrong things, I do not ask Your Majesty to forgive me, but Your Majesty please let the Lin family go."

"Princess Lin, have you ever thought about letting the heir in my belly go? If I don't punish you severely, how can I demonstrate the majesty of the imperial power? How can the heir in my belly be born safely?"

Su Jingyao said coldly, without any sympathy for Lin Fei in her eyes, only coldness.

"No, Queen, it's all your fault. You're the one pushing me to do these things. You planned everything."

Concubine Lin pointed at the empress like a madman, her face full of deep hatred.

Then she shouted to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, it's all the Queen's fault. The Queen did it on purpose. She didn't almost have a miscarriage. She was just pretending, all pretending."

Jun Zechen's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he said impatiently, "Fuquan, what are you standing there for? Concubine Lin has gone crazy, why don't you just drag it on?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fuquan responded quickly, and then signaled the eunuch beside him to drag Concubine Lin away quickly.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."

Jun Zechen raised his eyes slightly, with a stern look in his eyes, and gave instructions lightly.

"I'll take my leave."

The concubines stood up one after another, bowed respectfully, and then slowly retreated.

"Your Majesty, are you not going back to the Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs?" Su Jingyao turned her head slightly, looked at Jun Zechen, and asked softly.

Jun Zechen thought for a moment and then said slowly: "I have been delayed for some time today. I really have to go back to the Qianqing Palace to deal with the memorials."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "But I want Yaoyao to go to the Qianqing Palace to accompany me."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, I am a little tired today and want to rest in the palace."

"Yaoyao can also rest in my bedroom." Jun Zechen's tone was unquestionable and domineering.

He finally realized that he couldn't be too picky when treating her.

No matter what, he had to keep her under his watch. Otherwise, he might start to have other thoughts and misunderstand him deeply.

Su Jingyao wanted to continue to refuse, but Jun Zechen's attitude seemed as if there was no barrier between them at all, and she almost thought she had already forgave him.

Jun Zechen reached out and took her hand, exerted a little force, and lifted her up from the chair.

Then he naturally put his arms around her waist, his movements were domineering and powerful, not allowing her to resist in the slightest.

So he took her to the Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, he let Su Jingyao rest in his bedroom, while he turned and walked towards Yu's study and began to deal with memorials attentively.

Su Jingyao got up early in the morning and struggled for so long while being pregnant.

At this moment, she was feeling tired all over. She got on the dragon bed and lay down lazily.

I closed my eyes and rested, thinking about some doubts that occurred in the morning.

Concubine Lin will definitely not be able to escape today. All of this was carefully arranged by Su Jingyao.

But it is obvious that if Su Jingyao had not decisively sent people to search the palace, musk would not have been found in Concubine Lin's palace.

I'm afraid Concubine Lin will get away easily today.

Could the musk in Ming Fei's palace have been put there by Concubine Lin?

Su Jingyao couldn't help but frown and think carefully.

But she remembered that Yurong seemed to have said that Concubine Lin only asked her to deal with all the musk, and did not order her to put it in Concubine Ming's palace.

Because Concubine Lin's people were not the first-class maids of the Yongning Palace, they could not enter the main hall of the Yongning Palace at will.

Moreover, it is obvious that Bihe was the person arranged by Concubine Lin to frame Concubine Ming.

So who put the musk in Mingfei's palace?

Or does it mean that this musk really belongs to Ming Fei herself?

Su Jingyao's mind was full of thoughts.

If this musk was taken by someone other than Concubine Lin who wanted to frame Concubine Ming, then who would have a grudge against Concubine Ming?

There doesn't necessarily have to be a grudge. Ming Fei has been very favored by the concubines recently.

It seems possible that he took advantage of the situation out of jealousy and wanted to get rid of Ming Fei.

Su Jingyao kept thinking about this, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, Su Jingyao felt her body was a little stiff and it was time to move around.

So he stood up and walked slowly towards Yu's study.

At this time, Jun Zechen was sitting at the table, discussing things seriously with the Minister of Works.

His sword-like brows were tightly knitted, his eyes revealed a stern and cold light, and his expression was extremely serious.

The Minister of Works in the palace asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the king's weapons, armor, warships and guns are enough to resist foreign enemies. Why does Your Majesty still want to build warships?"

The Minister of Works had some vague suspicions in his mind.

He heard that since His Majesty destroyed the Ye family, he has taken over the Ye family’s troops in various cities.

And they are still training in secret.

Now you are building a large number of warships. Does Your Majesty really want to go to war?

"Just follow my instructions, my dear."

Jun Zechen simply responded indifferently, without much expression on his face, and it seemed that he didn't want to say anything more.

When everything is ready, no one can stop him from realizing his ambition.

After Su Jingyao came out of the bedroom, she went straight to Yu's study, where she stood quietly.

When I heard the Minister of Works talking about building warships, I began to think.

Both Yuehui Kingdom and Lingyu Kingdom are close to the sea, and Yuehui Kingdom is even a complete island country.

Jun Zechen built warships, so his primary target would be Yuehui Kingdom or Lingyu Kingdom.

However, in a naval battle, the monarch's army does not have much advantage, so naturally the two countries cannot fight at the same time.

So will Jun Zechen attack Yuehui Kingdom or Lingyu Kingdom first?

Su Jingyao kept calculating in her mind.

Seeing that Jun Zechen couldn't finish his conversation with the Minister of Works for a while, he turned around and went back to his bedroom.

After she returned to her bedroom, she found a book, leaned lazily on the chair, and read leisurely.

Su Jingyao stayed in the Qianqing Palace that day. At the hour of You, she had dinner with Jun Zechen, and then Jun Zechen went to deal with some things.

Accompanied by Miaoyun, Su Jingyao strolled leisurely in the small garden of the Qianqing Palace for a while.

Sometimes she looked at the flowers and plants around her, and sometimes she slightly raised her head to look at the sky.

When I finished my tour, I went back to the bedroom to rest.

Jun Zechen washed and dressed in an orderly manner under An's obedient service.

He tilted his head slightly and let Anshun wipe his face gently, a hint of tiredness in his expression.

When I entered the bedroom, I saw Su Jingyao wearing a loose and comfortable white tube top dress, leaning lazily on the head of the bed.

One hand gently holds the book, and he is reading attentively.

The waterfall of black hair all fell naturally, further highlighting the smallness of her delicate face.

At this moment, she looked gentle and quiet, with no makeup on her face, but she exuded a soft and elegant glow, as warm as white jade.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed like he hadn't seen her like this for a long time.

Jun Zechen took off his outer robe, revealing a clean white undergarment underneath.

The dragon bed was extremely wide. He climbed onto the bed gently and then lay directly on Su Jingyao's legs.

Su Jingyao was surprised for a moment, and she gently put down the book in her hand.

Jun Zechen lying on her legs like this, looked like a wounded beast seeking comfort.

"Your Majesty seems to be particularly busy today?" Su Jingyao softened her voice.

Jun Zechen's face was facing away from her. Su Jingyao could not see the expression on his face clearly, but could hear his low voice.

"Now the country is rich and powerful, and the people live and work in peace. If I want to take the initiative to provoke a war and disrupt this peace, what do you think, Yaoyao?"

"Your Majesty, you want to start a war. Do you want to attack the small countries around your kingdom?" Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked softly.

"Yes." Jun Zechen answered without hesitation, with a hint of firmness in his voice.

"Your Majesty, if you ask me such a question, wouldn't that mean I'm violating palace rules? I don't want to interfere in government affairs."

"Yaoyao, you can talk as usual. There are only Yaoyao and I here." Jun Zechen said softly, his voice full of tenderness.

Su Jingyao looked straight ahead with a distant gaze, and placed her small hand on Jun Zechen's chin, kneading it gently.

"Several small countries around the monarchy, including Yuehui, Lingyu, Canglang and even the weakest Yuelin, have invaded the monarchy when it was weak, but when the monarchy became strong, they had the nerve to sign a so-called peace treaty with the monarchy."

Her eyes sparkled with wisdom and a hint of ambition.

"If Your Majesty wants to destroy them, incorporating all these countries into your territory will not be the destruction of these countries, but a gift of new life to them."

Su Jingyao's voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and she continued after a slight pause.

"Even if the monarch's soldiers and civilians will be killed in the process, as long as Your Majesty can recover these countries, even if there are crimes, they will only be committed in this era, but the merits will last for generations to come."

Jun Zechen turned over suddenly, and for the first time, his eyes flashed with such a bright light.

He looked straight at Su Jingyao, his eyes bright as if they could see through everything.

He murmured softly, "What a crime committed in this age, but a great achievement for future generations."

Su Jingyao also smiled at him, like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the entire bedroom in an instant.

At the same time, it also illuminated Jun Zechen's slightly confused heart.

Jun Zechen has his own grand aspirations and ambitions. He thinks this is his courage and his enthusiasm.

Even in the face of opposition from all the civil and military officials in the court, he was determined to achieve his goal.

However, at this moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was someone who had the same idea as him...

Su Jingyao simply thought that since the current monarchy already had such strength, it should conquer and assimilate the surrounding countries and fully integrate them into the monarchy's customs and culture.

Why not?

Just like modern China, if a certain "little life" had been taken as its own territory earlier, everything that happened later would not have happened.

Now Jun Zechen is ready to build warships to attack Lingyu or Yuehui, so she will take advantage of the situation to give him a push and let Jun Zechen attack Yuehui directly.
