It wasn't that she didn't want to say nice things, but that she was just too tired. After finishing her share of the tasks assigned in the nunnery every day, she also had to share the duties of the empress. Day after day, she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Mrs. Lin said bitterly: "I'm still the queen in name, how dare they do this to me? It's Jiang Fuguang, it must be her. I knew she wouldn't let me go easily. She was the one who took care of the people in the nunnery, deliberately Teach me..."

Jing Yu couldn't help but look at the Queen.

Ever since she came to Shuiyue Nunnery, the Empress has been living in hell every day. She has to face the crazy female relatives in the nunnery during the day, and when she returns to her room at night, there are endless nightmares waiting for her.

In just three months, the Empress had lost weight, her hair was dry and disheveled, her cheekbones were protruding, her face was slumped, her cloudy eyes were sunken deep into the black sockets, they were hollow and numb, and her whole person was lifeless. More than ten years older.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the house.

Mrs. Lin turned pale with fright. For a moment she thought it was another crazy woman who stayed up late at night and ran out of the room to go crazy and scare people.

Jing Yu walked to the window and saw a firelight reflected in front of the window. She couldn't help being shocked, and heard a series of screams and cries outside...

"Mother, something seems to have happened outside..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a clang, and the door to the room was violently knocked open. The master and servant in the room were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their whole bodies were shaking.

Jing Yu quickly stood in front of Lin and saw several soldiers in armor standing outside the dark door like evil gods. An old palace man in his fifties led two men carrying The maid with the lacquered wooden tray walked into the room.

Jing Yu recognized this old palace man. It was on the occasion of His Royal Highness Prince An's wedding that the Empress sent him to Guoshang Palace in Prince An's Mansion.

As soon as Guo Shanggong entered the room, he knelt on the ground and said, "This old slave has been ordered by His Royal Highness King An to welcome the Queen back to the palace."

"Go back to the palace?" Mrs. Lin's eyes widened, her eyes were sunken, and she looked a bit arrogant. "Is this your Majesty's intention?"

Guo Shanggong frowned, seeing that the Queen had lost all her skin, how could she still be the noble and dignified mother of a country?
She almost suspected that this crazy woman came from somewhere and dared to pretend to be the queen.

She composed herself and bowed down to answer: "The eldest princess has gone to the southwest. Your Majesty cannot afford to be ill. He has not been to court for several days in a row. Now, all major affairs in the court are in charge of His Highness Prince An. It is His Highness Prince An who will take you back to the palace." the meaning of."

Mrs. Lin was ecstatic, and the skin on her face became distorted due to excitement, making her expression very strange.

"There are many guards at the foot of the mountain. No one can enter or leave without His Majesty's instructions. How did you get in?"

Guo Shangshu replied: "His Royal Highness King An sent a group of royal soldiers to control the guards at the foot of the mountain. They pretended to be guards and temporarily took over Shuiyuesan. Our actions were very secretive. In addition, Shuiyue'an is remote and has a radius of several miles. It’s out of sight and will not be noticed for the time being.”

Shuiyue An was a place where female relatives who made mistakes in the palace were imprisoned, and the people avoided this place like a snake or a scorpion.

Mrs. Lin's frown slightly relaxed and she added, "Have you taken care of everything before returning to the palace?"

Guo Shangshu said firmly: "My queen, please feel at ease."

Mrs. Lin, with disheveled hair, strode to the window, pushed open the old window, with a cold light flashing in her turbid eyes, looked into the dark courtyard, and let out a long breath of turbid air in her chest. I just feel that all the frustrations I had before are gone.

Guo Shanggong ordered the maid beside him: "Serve the Queen to change her clothes."

The maid knelt down and responded, carrying the robes she had prepared long ago, and came forward to wash Mrs. Lin. Guo Shangshu bowed aside and told her what had happened in and outside the court during this period.I also mentioned that the Marquis of Chengan committed suicide in prison after being convicted of a crime. The entire Marquis of Chengan, except Lin Xianzhao, who was exiled to the Southern Wasteland, will be executed. All the people in the Lin clan who participated in the violation of laws and disciplines will be executed. , and found out the crimes one by one.

The trees of the Lin clan fell and the hozens scattered.

The Marquis of Cheng'an was guilty of treason. Logically speaking, he should be paraded through the streets and then taken to Caishikou for execution. Your Majesty allowed him to commit suicide in prison and left him the best dignity.

Lin's face was expressionless, as if all this was unimportant.

After listening to it for a while, she came to only one conclusion: the court was leaderless, Prince Chang had military power, and their opportunity had come.

Now as long as she, the empress, returns to the palace, controls the inner palace as much as possible, and cooperates with Prince Chang, she can completely capture the imperial city.

At that time, it is only necessary to announce to the outside world that His Majesty has passed away and that his legitimate son, King An, will inherit the throne. It is simply not too logical.

The dry hair was smoothed with scalp oil and made into a bun filled with pearls and jade. The withered face was covered with powder and exquisite makeup. Guo Shanggong personally took the Xuanxi engraved seal. Wait for Mrs. Lin to change into the Huifeng dress.

Mrs. Lin finally regained her luxurious and dignified style when she was the empress.

She slightly raised her thin eyebrows and raised the corners of her lipstick: "Go and bring Jiang Ningyu's bitchy hooves to me. During this period, I am really grateful to her for taking care of me."

She emphasized the word "care" with a strong emphasis, and it gave off a cold flavor.

Jiang Ningyu was different from her, because Jiang Fuguang had sent someone to take care of things in advance, and he also brought a lot of money in his hand. As soon as he entered Shuiyue Temple, he chose a clean courtyard. Not to mention how easy his life was, but at least he didn't have to deal with a group of people. The company of madmen.

Guo Shangshu frowned and said, "My Lady, it's getting late. Everything in the palace is complicated. You must return to the palace to take charge of the overall situation."

The Queen is the master of the middle palace, and only she can quickly control the entire harem.

Lin ignored her.

After a while, Jiang Ningyu was dragged into Mrs. Lin's room by two guards. No matter how she struggled and screamed, it was to no avail.

There was a "crash", and a basin of cold water was poured down on my head in the middle of winter.

Jiang Ningyu screamed, her whole body was soaked, and she was shivering. She raised her head and saw Mrs. Lin in a queen's crown. The expression on her face gradually changed from disbelief to fear.

She was a little incoherent: "Mother, Queen Mother, what are you, you, my father didn't ask you, why did you..."

Lin walked over, stepped on her hand slowly, and crushed it hard.

Jiang Ningyu's face turned pale from the pain. She could bear it at first, but as the force increased, she couldn't help but let out a shrill cry.

"Ah, Queen Mother, I, I was wrong. Please spare me. I will never dare to do it again. Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please forgive me..."

After learning that during the hunting trip to Xishan, Marquis Chengan used her bodyguard Zhao Jian to assassinate the eldest princess in the hunting ground, and that she was the scapegoat pushed out by Marquis Chengan, Jiang Ningyu was filled with resentment. Molin's.
