Lin was so scared and silly when she heard the news that she hurriedly ran to concubine Shu’s palace. Concubine Shu turned pale with anger and said, ” What are you doing here?Are you afraid that others will not suspect me? I’m already in trouble. What else do you expect from me?”
Concubine Shu was so angry with her that she was almost overwhelmed by the queen mother these days.If anything else happened, she would lose her present position.
But Lin didn’t think about concubine Shu and cried, ” Auntie, help me …”
” Save you? You are a fool who can’t do anything better except bad things. I warn you, if you bring trouble to King Yu, I will never spare you.
” Auntie, you can’t ignore me, or I’ll die.” Lin’s intestines were all regretful. King Yu told her not to make a move, but she still didn’t hold back.
” You die yourself, but can’t bring trouble to King Yu, to Lin, and Shu family. You bear your own mistakes. I haven’t seen anyone discuss the plot at the meeting, don’t you ask for it?” Concubine Shu regarded Lin as a plague. First, Shu’s family’s biggest concealment, and Yu’s most important successor, Datonghui, was victimized by her. Now she directly harmed Yu. The queen had been looking for a chance to deal with them, and she would certainly make a big issue of it.
” I warn you that you are holding on to this matter, and you say you listen to Zhou’s remarks and put the blame on Zhou’s head. You can’t admit that you were behind the killing, but you do hate Ye Jinxuan because she has helped Aruan against you all the time, which was a schadenfreude at the time, saying a few sarcastic remarks, but you didn’t expect others to misunderstand your meanings,” Shu warned solemnly.
This was a big matter. If she didn’t teach this fool some words, who knew if this fool would make things worse?
” What if they want to confront me?”
It was true that she told others to do it.
Concubine Shu almost gushed out a mouthful of blood and was speechless: ” Will you not bite back? Can’t you say they are instigated to frame you? What a fool!”
Before she could teach Lin more, the queen’s servant came to concubine Shu and took Lin away directly.
Concubine Shu really wanted to die. If she knew this Lin Wanyin was so useless, she might as well support Aruan.
She immediately ordered people to report to King Yu as soon as possible so that he could have a good mental preparation.
Liuli was called to Chaoyang Palace earlier.
After listening to the queen’s query, Liuli was so calm that she washed herself clean.
“I just happen to be present at the time, but I don’t say a word or participate. Although I don’t get along well with Ye Jinxuan, I have sworn that we are irrelevant since ever. I mean what I have said and don’t take part in it.”
Yide said angrily, ” Are you not involved? You know their tricks, but still keep silent, isn’t this the approval?”
Liuli retorted, ” It’s none of my business. Why am I talkative?”
” You … you are clearly schadenfreude.” Yide was quite speechless.
You were also very angry, and didn’t believe that Liuli hadn’t participate. But Liuli was still marquis house’s daughter – in – law, and marquis house had already emerged the event of Zhou, making people laugh. If Liuli went in again, it would really make people laugh off their fangs.
” How can you be so selfish?Are you happy when marquis house’s reputation is damaged? You and Chunfeng moved out, so you don’t think you are a member of marquis house?”
” Mother, I don’t really think so much at the time. I have already been taught. As long as it is about the second sister-in-law, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, I will not participate. Even if I advise them not to do so, will they listen to me? People will believe it?”
Liuli took such an attitude, but everyone had no way, and it happened that the servant reported that King Yu’s side concubine had been brought.
The queen asked Liuli to step down first. Today’s focus was on Lin.
Yide exchanged glances with the queen, and Yide also turned to the back.
Lin was nervous all the way, silently reciting the words concubine Shu had taught her, and did not know whether it would work.
When she entered the palace, she knelt down and performed a big ceremony.
“I have met your majesty and paid my respects.”
The queen remained silent for a long time and did not call her up, but Lin’s heart was in a state of panic and some sweat was seeping from her hands.
“King Yu’s side concubine, do you know why you’re called to this palace?” The queen’s voice was cold, proud and slow, with a share of coercion.
” I don’t know, your majesty,” Lin said guiltily.
With a sneer, the queen suddenly raised her voice and added, ” You don’t know? It was a pity that all the witnesses were there. You’d better admit, otherwise I’ll punish you seriously.”
Lin cried out, ” Mother, I really don’t know what the so-called things are. Please give me a clear hint. ”
You said, ” You have encouraged the assistant minister’s wife of the Ministry of Industry to slander our reputation of Jing ‘an marquis house. Now they have all confessed that you are responsible for it, and you still justify it?”
Lin’s heart quivered and suddenly looked up at You, feeling even more aggrieved and surprised. ” Madam, where do you start this? I’ve never done anything like this before.”
You sneered, ” Really?Then you dare not confront them face to face?”
” There must be some misunderstanding, mother, about Ye Jinxuan, I just have heard from the third lady of marquis house. I’m just talking about it like jokes, presumably someone will wrong my intentions. Please trust me,” Lin argued.
At the same time, Yide in the back hall said to several ladies, ” You have all heard that Lin was going to push you out as scapegoats. If you are an accessory, the punishment will vary greatly. If you are an accessory, you will only be scolded by the queen and the master. If you are the mastermind, maliciously slandering the hero, you will be slandered and framed. Don’t say that you can’t get away with it, even your master’s future will be ruined. I am not alarmist – mongering, you know what you are doing, but you will be the scapegoat in the end.”
Several ladies looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons in their hearts. Their masters supported King Yu to get more benefits. If they were finished at the moment, even if King Yu won the world in the future, could he still think of their master?
” After all, it’s Lin’s idea, not King Yu’s idea,” Yide added.
Everyone was suddenly enlightened. Yes, Lin was just a side concubine. If everyone sacrificed for Lin, would King Yu remember their kindness? Could he accept their goodness?
” Anyway, you have already offended Lin, and Lin certainly hates you very much in her heart. If Lin is fine, you’ll be waiting to bear Lin’s anger. You’ll be jailed and don’t know what Lin will say about you in front of King Yu,” Yide sneered.
Everyone’s facial expression was firm. Yes, they had offended Lin anyway. Today either Lin or they would be unlucky. Everyone had a dispute in their hearts.
Lin asked for investigation, and the queen asked them to confront themselves and saw who could laugh last.
Several ladies were encouraged by Yide to be firm in their hearts. Seeing Lin passing the buck, they started to fight back. They began to blame Lin in front of the queen, Yide and You. No matter how hard Lin implied everyone to lead the disaster to Zhou, it would not work.
How could one mouth win more than a few mouths, and the fact that it was originally the case, Lin’s argument was always guilty and humbled, and she soon fell down and was speechless but only to cry.
When King Yu got the news, he was already exhausted and could not return to his mind after being hit hard for half a day.
For today’s situation, only Lin had to be discarded. She had bacome a useless chess, not only useless but also harmful enough to ruin all his plan. There was no choice but to abandon the chess.
King Yu hurriedly came to Chaoyang Palace.
When Lin saw King Yu coming, there was a hope in her heart that King Yu would be able to save her.
However, King Yu did not even look at her. He came forward to salute the majesty and said with deep sorrow, ” Mother, it’s I who spoils Lin too much, causing today’s disaster and I’m really guilty. Please punish me for this crime.”
As soon as King Yu arrived, he pleaded guilty and turned passivity into initiative. The queen was not too hard on him. She also knew that it was impossible to completely defeat King Yu with this matter. However, it was enough to let the emperor be disappointed at King Yu.
” It is good that you come, this matter, you do it at your own discretion! Madam Jing’an marquis is still waiting!” The queen was cold.
King Yu looked at Lin with great regret and said: “I grow up with Lin, so I have spoiled her and treated her so leniently that she has become what she is now, and I have advised her many times not to care these trivial matters and respect the Madam, but she just refuses to listen to it, because she is jealous and resentful and even angry with others. This action is really contrary to the principles of women, and is not allowed by the royal family. I dare not protect her any more. To protect her is to hurt her. I beg mother to make a decision for me to divorce her.”
Lin looked at King Yu in disbelief as if she was struck by lightning. Tears rolled down and she opened his mouth but could not utter a word.
The fact that she was abandoned by the man she loved deeply caused her to collapse.
The queen was also secretly surprised. She knew King Yu’s love for Lin. she didn’t expect King Yu to say that he would divorce his wife. She became more vigilant to King Yu in her heart.
But she didn’t know that King Yu was already angry with Lin, and no one knew that Datonghui was involved, all thanks to Lin.
” What King Yu has said is right. Lin’s actions have made a royal taboo, and even ordinary people’s homes can’t tolerate such bad behavior. Just do as King Yu has said. I hope that King Yu will restrain his family in the future and do not have such a regrettable thing again. ” The queen had made the final decision that she fully respected King Yu’s decision. It wasn’t she who forced him to do it, in fact, no one could blame her.
Poor Lin screamed and then fainted to the ground.
Unfortunately, no one showed sympathy with her. She stewed in her own juice.
