Queen is fearless

Chapter 31

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" On the court hall, several courtiers knelt on the ground, crying after following the emperor.

"Injustice?" Zhou Jing snorted coldly, and threw the few notebooks in his hand to the ground.

"In the past, you told me that you were wronged, but there was no evidence at that time, so I believed you, but now... you all take a good look at it, where is the wrong?"

Several people kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, picked up the folders on the ground respectively.

The more you look at it, the uglier each one's face becomes.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!" After reading all the excerpts, the few people's cry of injustice at the beginning turned into begging for mercy.

Zhou Jing looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth slowly, and announced the treatment of them to the court.

After he finished talking about everything, someone immediately entered the hall, took off the official hats and uniforms of several people.

Now, no one cried out for injustice, and no one begged for mercy. They all looked ashen and were escorted out of the palace.

Calm was restored in the hall, and Zhou Jing issued several orders one after another to thoroughly investigate all the people related to the Lin family. Suddenly, several people in the court shed cold sweat.

Dispersed early in the morning, Zhou Jing left along the apse, and the ministers got together, talking with each other.

Gu Qingshan didn't get together with them, he walked towards the outside of the hall without haste, thinking about buying some snacks that his wife likes to take home on the way home.

"Master Hou stay here." Yuan Bao chased out of the palace and saluted Gu Qing Shan.

"Director Yuan." Gu Qingshan turned his head, saw him, smiled and cupped his hands.

Although Yuan Bao was just a eunuch, he was someone close to the emperor. In this court, no matter whether he was a high official or a small one, they would give him some kind of favor.

"Master Gu is too polite, how dare this servant be your boss?" Yuan Bao smiled, and he saluted Gu Qingshan with a respectful tone.

The one in front of him is the empress's father. Although he has handed over the military power now, who doesn't know the prestige of Zhongyonghou in the past?
"I don't know why Manager Yuan is looking for me?" Since he was stopped by the people around the emperor, it must be that the emperor had some orders, Gu Qingshan looked at Yuan Bao and asked him.

"Master Hou, the emperor asked the servants to pass a message, saying that the empress misses her family, and please prepare to come to the palace to accompany the empress."

Hearing this, Gu Qingshan's eyes lit up, since his daughter entered the palace, his wife has talked about it a lot, and he is also very concerned about it.

However, the daughter entered the imperial palace, not an ordinary family, so even if she wanted to know her situation in the palace, she would have no way of knowing.

If the wife knows that she can enter the palace, she must be very happy.

"Here's Manager Lao Yuan, just a little bit, let's drink tea." Taking off a piece of jade pendant from his body and stuffing it into Yuan Bao's hand, Gu Qingshan said with a smile.

Yuan Bao quickly declined, but his strength was no match for Gu Qingshan who was a military general, so he had no choice but to accept the jade pendant.

It is also a thought to report to the emperor and return the jade pendant to the empress.

It has to be said that the people around the emperor will come to trouble.

"Farewell." Cupping his hands again, Gu Qingshan strode away, Yuan Bao held the jade pendant, stood there watching him walk away, then turned and left, and spoke to the emperor.

"That jade pendant, after Mrs. Gu enters the palace, you find a chance to send it to the queen, and I will reward you with an extra piece."

After listening to Yuan Bao's report, Zhou Jing took the jade pendant and glanced at it. It was a good piece of jade. He handed it to Yuan Bao and said.

"Doing things for the emperor and the empress is a blessing for a slave. How dare you ask for any reward? The emperor can rest assured that when Mrs. Gu enters the palace, the slave will definitely send the jade pendant."

Hurrying to salute the emperor, Yuan Bao responded respectfully, and Zhou Jing glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me." Yuan Bao has been by his side since he was a child, and Zhou Jing knows his temperament well.

When the emperor said so, Yuan Bao chuckled and said nothing.

"Let the imperial physician go to Fengyang Palace every day. I have seen the empress's complexion, and it has not been very good-looking. I have to take care of it."

Thinking of Gu Jinzhi's pale face when he got up early, Zhou Jing frowned.

"Lin Jieyu... Since she is from the fourth rank, she should enjoy the rules of the fourth rank. Let her move out of the main hall and live in Qingqiu Pavilion."

The Lin family was dealt with, and the Lin family was also demoted. Qingqiu Pavilion sounds nice, but its location is a bit remote in the palace.

Yuan Bao replied yes, knowing in his heart that the emperor completely disliked the Lin family and Lin Jieyu.

…………

"My lord, don't cry, or your eyes will burst from crying." In Xianfu Palace, Yingchun and Qiuyue accompanied Lin Jieyu, persuading her.

"How can the emperor be so heartless? How can he..."

The news of the Lin family's demotion reached Lin Jieyu. Knowing that some members of the family were demoted, some were exiled, and some were exiled into the army, Lin Jieyu felt that her heart was about to break.

It's no wonder that his status has been lowered to Jieyu, it turns out that the emperor is going to attack the Lin family.

"My lord, don't dare to say these words again, in case someone overhears..." Yingchun looked around to make sure there was no one else, this time she spoke in a low voice with a nervous expression on her face.

"So what if I heard it? This palace is already like this, can it be worse?"

With a snort, Lin Jieyu's eyes turned red. She looked around at everything in Xianfu Palace, and knew in her heart that she couldn't stay here for too long.

"I never thought that one day I would hear such words from Concubine Lin's mouth."

Outside the hall, there was laughter, Lin Jieyu stared at the door of the hall.

Two women in palace attire came in from outside the palace, one of them covered her lips, with a sarcasm in her eyes, "Oh, blame my memory, now, Concubine Lin is no longer Concubine Lin, she should call her Lin Jie instead. Yu is."

After she finished speaking, another woman in palace costume also laughed.

The two were none other than Yang Guipin and Zhao Jieyu who lived in the west side hall of Xianfu Palace.

These two people have been arranged in Xianfu Palace since they entered the palace. Lin, who was still Concubine Lin at that time, was always very dissatisfied with this.

She intentionally let the two of them live in the west hall of Xianfu Palace. The hall is dark and humid, with little light all year round, and it is not as good as the sunny east hall.

Not only that, but from time to time, she made people withdraw the brands of Yang Guipin and Zhao Jieyu.

The place where the two lived was not good, and the sign was often taken down, so after seeing the emperor only once or twice, they were forgotten in the harem.

I thought that this was the only way to live my life, but I didn't expect that the Lin family was demoted to Jieyu, and her status was not even comparable to that of the fourth-rank Concubine Yang Gui.

On weekdays, Concubine Yang Gui and Zhao Jieyu supported each other, and their relationship was very good. After knowing that the Lin family was demoted and the Lin family was demoted, they couldn't hold back anymore, and they came together to trouble Lin.

The wall is falling and everyone is pushing it. No matter when it is said, it is the truth...
