Chapter 397: Muddy Waters
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue with red eyes
There are so many people in the harem, but who can care about the emperor as much as Jun'er does? Only Jun'er is devoted to him wholeheartedly.
Xie Yu said, "Jun'er, I'm fine. When Liang Zhaoyi tried to assassinate me, I was still conscious and dodged. I wasn't injured. Don't worry."
Lin Junxue deliberately showed a hint of anger
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Liang really acted on your behalf under the instructions of the Sun family. The Sun family is truly ambitious and has done such an outrageous thing. It is truly despicable."
paused
Lin Junxue asked carefully again, "Your Majesty, have you seen through the Sun family's conspiracy long ago, so you deliberately favored Liang Zhaoyi? I remembered what you said a few days ago, so I guessed so, is that right?"
Lin Junxue's play is called asking questions knowingly
Looking at Lin Junxue who asked this question so frankly, the emotions in his eyes were churning and becoming more and more profound.
He fell silent, his eyes and eyebrows no longer having the sharp and dazzling feeling just now.
for a while
He reached out and took Lin Junxue into his arms, then spoke in a deep voice.
"Jun'er, in this world, you are the only one who believes in me. Will you always believe in me? In fact, there are times when I cannot help myself."
Lin Junxue leaned against Xie Yu's chest, lowered her eyes, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, of course I believe you, and I only believe you. I also understand that you have no choice. Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side until the moment of death."
Xie Yu's eyes moved slightly
"I knew it. I knew about the Sun family's plan to assassinate me. That's why I favored Liang Zhaoyi and gave the Sun family the opportunity to do it. The Sun family has evil ambitions and their hearts are unpredictable."
Xie Yu pushed all the things he had planned onto the Sun family.
If someone is not aware of the situation, they would probably believe it without a doubt.
Xie Yu, this natural born movie star, hehe...
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu with admiration
"Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful."
Xie Yu smiled and said, "Jun'er, you are so sweet. Now that this matter is over, I will go to Zhonghe Palace to accompany you today."
Lin Junxue smiled shyly and blushed a little
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting
If she continues like this, if she has the chance to return to modern times, she really has to consider entering Hollywood, otherwise her good acting skills will be wasted.
Then, Lin Junxue suddenly stopped smiling and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, when I arrived just now, I happened to run into Concubine Chen. She should not know about this. She has been in the palace for many years. Although she is a bit domineering, she has not made any big mistakes. This time, Liang Zhaoyi and the Sun family plotted against her. I think Concubine Chen is also an innocent person. Please spare her life for her many years in the palace."
Xie Yu was obviously a little surprised at Lin Junxue's plea for mercy.
"Jun'er, the Concubine Chen has been disrespectful to you before. Today, you are able to plead for her, which is really rare."
Lin Junxue wanted to laugh when she heard this.
Whether it was the Concubine Chen, or Chen Xier at that time, or that old thing the Empress Dowager.
Treating her badly, scheming against her, being disrespectful to her was all due to Xie Yu's indulgence and indifference.
Without the emperor's help, how could the original queen live like that? Now, Xie Yu completely denied it.
"Your Majesty, it's all in the past. Concubine Chen is an old lady in the palace. We have known each other for many years. If she knows nothing and is innocent, I cannot turn a blind eye to it. I am the queen and I have the responsibility to protect my concubines. No matter how disrespectful Concubine Chen was to me in the past, it is all in the past."
Xie Yu said, "Ke Jun'er, you shouldn't beg for mercy. Even if the Concubine Chen didn't know about this, she is still a member of the Sun family. Sun Qing's assassination of me is a serious crime that will implicate all nine clans."
Seeing Xie Yu's gloomy face, Lin Junxue showed no fear.
"Your Majesty, I know about this matter. It will be difficult for the Concubine Chen to not be implicated. I am begging for mercy only for the sake of our years of friendship. I dare not interfere with Your Majesty's decision."
The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs
Lin Junxue would never cross this bottom line in front of Xie Yu.
Even though she knew that Xie Yu wanted the military power of the Sun family, she could never reveal a single word.
Otherwise, Xie Yu would definitely become suspicious of her as the queen in the deep palace.
Xie Yu was silent for a few seconds, and his cold aura dissipated a little.
He looked at Lin Junxue deeply
for a while
Opening
"Jun'er, I can give Concubine Chen a chance to live, but whether Concubine Chen wants it or not is her own choice."
Lin Junxue raised her eyes
"Your Majesty, if there is anything I can do, I will do my best."
The door of Taiwu Hall was reopened
Lin Junxue came out with Qiao Xin
Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Have a nice day, Queen."
Lin Junxue nodded, got on the sedan chair, returned to Zhonghe Palace, and changed her clothes.
Danzhen serves tea
Qiao Xin said, "My queen, why do you have to wade into this muddy water? The Sun family's matter is so serious this time, I'm afraid that the concubine Chen can't escape the connection. You just pleaded for the concubine Chen, and I was really worried for you."
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, and her body finally warmed up a little.
She held the teacup and said calmly, "This matter is not a big deal. It was originally planned by the emperor. The emperor did this not for the lives of the Sun family, but for the military power in the hands of the Sun family. If the Sun family wants to escape unscathed this time and keep their lives, they have to push all the blame onto Sun Qing alone, hand over the military power, and save the lives of the whole family. But the emperor Xie Yu cannot say anything about this matter, so only one person can write a letter to the Sun family to seek this way out. Concubine Chen is the most reasonable one."
Qiao Xin suddenly realized
"I am being narrow-minded. Your Majesty means that even if you don't go to Taiwu Palace to find the emperor today, the emperor will find a way for you to persuade Concubine Chen to write a letter to the Sun family and ask them to hand over the military power. Concubine Chen is the legitimate daughter of the Sun family. If the Sun family is smart and wants to save their lives, they can only listen to Concubine Chen's advice, and perhaps they can still keep Concubine Chen's position."
Lin Junxue put down the teacup and nodded slightly.
"It's not maybe, it's definitely going to be preserved. The Sun family apologizes and hands over the military power. Without the military power, the Sun family will be in vain. Sun Hua is old and has no outstanding legitimate son. Once the military power is lost, Xie Yu will not take the Sun family seriously. The Concubine Chen is still the Concubine Chen. Only then can the Sun family happily hand over the military power. If the Concubine Chen is deposed, the Sun family will inevitably take an extreme approach and end up in a desperate situation. This is definitely not what the emperor wants to see. The Concubine Chen is also the key to the emperor's stabilization of the Sun family."
This is why Xie Yu chose Sun Qing instead of Sun Manrou, the Concubine Chen, from the very beginning.
Of course it wasn't because of any kind of affection, because in Xie Yu's opinion, Sun Manrou was brainless and easier to control.
The Sun family was defeated, and putting her in the position of concubine could not cause any trouble.
Lin Junxue said again, "I am the queen. Even if I don't take the initiative to go to Taiwu Hall today, the emperor will use me to tell the concubine what to do. Since there is no way to avoid it, I might as well take the initiative to go."
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor's move is really cruel. It's frightening just thinking about it."
