According to the emperor's wishes, Jin Xin doesn't have to go to the funeral in the past few days. She can just deal with Concubine Rong's affairs.
The investigation of the Lin family's affairs was the matter of the Imperial Secretary. Jin Xin was not qualified to intervene, and the Queen could only wait for the result.
During this period, it seemed that the palace was very peaceful and quiet.
After the empress dowager's coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum to be buried with the late emperor, the imperial minister found all the evidence of the Lin family's crimes.
Naturally, Jin Xin could not know what these were, but Rong Bin's matter was explained. The Duke's palace was so bold that he planned to murder the dragon fetus and kill Rong Bin. The decree reached the harem on the third day after the Queen Mother's coffin was buried. .
The Queen is banned from the house, waiting for the case in the Duke's Mansion to be concluded, and she will be punished together.
Two months later,
The queen stood in front of the palace door, looking at the locked door of Kunning Palace, her face was haggard.
More than two months have passed, and there is still no result in the case of the Duke's Mansion, but the queen knows that once the result is out, everyone will be punished.
Her position as queen was gone just waiting for this door to open.
"Your Majesty, don't look at it. You stand here every day for an hour or two. How can this body bear it?" The maid stepped forward distressed and wanted to take her back.
The queen put aside her maid's hand and still looked at the palace gate, hoping for a result.
When she was banned here, she was suffering immensely, but she still had hope in her heart, because the Queen Mother was still here and she would definitely find a way to let her out.
But as soon as the Queen Mother passed away, the Emperor couldn't wait to lock himself in here and immediately went to inspect the Duke's Mansion.
The murder of the Dragonborn and the death of Concubine Rong were all excuses. The Emperor wanted to uproot the Lin family.
But the queen didn't know why this happened. He ascended the throne with the help of the Lin family. The Lin family had no major faults and no bad intentions. Why couldn't the emperor tolerate him?
Is it just because he wants to get the third prince?
She thought about it for many days, but couldn't figure out the result.
She waited for the emperor to come, but no one came. Then she stood at the door, and she stood longer and longer day by day. From the beginning, she expected the emperor to come and see her, and she wanted to ask all her doubts. In the end, she couldn't If you don't look forward to the emperor's rise, just look forward to a result.
She really didn't want to wait any longer.
This kind of waiting has no hope, no hope, and every moment is suffering.
Since the result is the same, it's better to end it happily.
But it was another fruitless day.
When Jin Xin passed by Kunning Palace, she looked at the door and frowned, "The Emperor has ordered that the Duke's palace be confiscated and all of them be exiled. No one has told the Queen about this yet, right?"
"No, there is no imperial edict, no one will tell the queen." Lianrong said.
"The emperor doesn't want to deal with the queen. He just doesn't want people in the world to say that he is cruel and cold. He has already been charged with dealing with the Duke's palace. It doesn't matter if the queen continues to be here." Cuigu said calmly.
Yes, the Emperor hated the Queen Mother, and dealing with Mrs. Lin should be what he wanted to do early on.
He actually knew that the Queen was in love with him, but the Queen was the Lin family's daughter. He couldn't let go of his grudge and accept it, but he didn't want the world to scold him either, so he let it go.
On that day, Jin Xin looked at the Emperor's deep eyes, with a look and hesitation, and a flash of understanding. He had an insight into the holiday between himself and the Queen, but he didn't say anything and chose to deal with it according to his own situation. .
It seemed that she had won, but Jin Xin knew that she was just a pawn of the emperor.
If she is not careful, she will be shattered into pieces.
Your Majesty, it's too dangerous.
Arriving at the imperial study room, Jin Xin took out the food box, took out the chicken soup she had made, placed it on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the chicken soup made by my concubine. Please try it."
The emperor raised his eyes and saw Jin Xin's slender hand holding the soup for him. He put down his pen, took the chicken soup, and said with a smile, "I told you that slaves can do these things, so why do you have to do it yourself. "
"What I do as a slave is my duty, and what I do as a concubine is what I feel like." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Hearing this, tenderness appeared in the emperor's eyes. He pulled her to his side and asked her to sit on him, "These days, you have managed the harem in an orderly manner. I am very pleased. Now that the matter in the Duke's Mansion has been settled, you have to Kong goes to see the queen and comfort her."
These words made her heart tremble. The queen had not received any news so far. Naturally, she did not know about the raids and exiles in the Duke's mansion. The crime could not have been more serious.
Colluded with the enemy, leaked the defense plan, and found letters of collaboration with the enemy in Uncle Guo's study.
Such a crime would implicate ten clans, and everyone involved would be punished.
But the emperor chose to go into exile, and people all over the world said that he was a filial son, worthy of the Queen Mother's cultivation, and kind to the Queen Mother.
Now the emperor's intention seems to be to let him reveal the news to the queen so that this matter can come to an end.
He didn't let anyone tell him, but hinted that he would go.
Jin Xin felt helpless, but she also knew that she had no choice.
"Yes, I will go see the Queen tomorrow to feel relieved." Jin Xin nodded and obeyed.
The emperor looked at Jin Xin with a smile, raised his hand and caressed her beautiful face, looking at her with satisfaction, as if looking at his carefully crafted work, he was very satisfied that she had become what he wanted to be.
"Among so many women, you are the only one who understands me best. If you sing with me, I will give you supreme honor."
Jin Xin met his eyes and found that he was not looking at the woman he loved, but like his favorite toy. He actually felt very accomplished.
Obviously he can see and appreciate Jin Xin's growth, but she is still controllable, so he is not worried.
Jin Xin immediately smiled, hooked his arm, and said with a smile, "I obey your order."
He kissed her and felt her beauty...
Coming out of the imperial study room, Jin Xin looked back at the imperial study room. This supreme man would be the one she would have to conquer throughout her life.
Walking to Kunning Palace, Jin Xin asked someone to open the palace door, and what he saw was the Queen standing there with no makeup on, her hair disheveled, her face was haggard, and her eyes were dull.
The queen was a little excited when she saw it opened, but when she saw it was Jin Xin, she immediately frowned. Seeing Jin Xin step forward, she said displeasedly, "What are you doing here!"
"Come to see the queen, let me tell you something by the way." Jin Xin walked in with a nonchalant attitude.
The emperor asked him to persuade the queen to depose her. Whether she became a monk and practiced cultivation or sent out of the palace, she could only ask for the will on her own initiative, not the emperor.
"Are you here to see my joke?" the queen asked with a frown.
"The emperor found his treasonous letters in his uncle's study, as well as the military defense plan that he was about to send. Your cousin submitted this matter to the emperor. The emperor appreciates such a righteous act of annihilating relatives, but the emperor is thinking of the Queen Mother's words. The grace of raising her was not beheaded, but the entire Lin family was demoted to commoners and exiled to the frontiers to do hard labor until they die of old age." Jin Xin spoke in a calm tone, watching the blood on the queen's face fade away little by little.
How could the Queen not know whether the Lin family did something or not?
Suddenly, the queen burst into laughter and said to the sky like a madman, "Aunt, did you see it? This is the good son you raised!"
