Although things had come to this, Lin Yueying was still unwilling to believe it.
However, during the morning court session the next day, the matter was taken out and announced in the form of an imperial edict. The imperial edict was very long, and the overall meaning was that the Lin family had committed many crimes. Now, he had to take away Lin Mocheng's position as prime minister, leaving it temporarily vacant.
Chu Huaijin even wrote a letter of apology to himself, implying that the Lin family was the prime minister he had always appointed. He had always entrusted them with important tasks and trusted them greatly, but they had betrayed his trust and kept doing bad things that were not in harmony with the court and did not benefit the people.
He had been deceived by them for a long time and did not see the true face of the Lin family early on. This was his responsibility. He had to be brave enough to take up his responsibility. He took the initiative to punish him by copying the national books and family laws ten times. He also took out 100,000 taels of silver from his personal treasury to donate to the places that were most affected by the disaster.
This move could be considered very magnanimous. All the ministers were dazzled by it. Even the commoners who were watching the melons gave him a thumbs up.
He praised him for being a wise ruler. As long as he was around, the West Chu Empire would not have to worry about prosperity.
Lin Yueying lived deep in the palace and did not know so much. However, ever since Shen Pan 'er sent a little palace maid over, she would often inadvertently pass on the news and pretend to let Lin Yueying hear it.
When Lin Yueying found out that the Lin family had indeed fallen, she was extremely anxious. She wanted to see Chu Huaijin, but she couldn't even go to the front hall. She could only drag her sick body to greet Empress Dowager Lin.
However, when they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, they were stopped by the guards sent by Chu Huaijin. They stood at the palace gate and found out that the Empress Dowager was extremely weak and had fainted.
The guard looked at Lin Yueying and lowered his head guiltily.
Although the rumors about their Lin family had been spread, Empress Dowager Lin still had some tricks up her sleeve in the palace. Moreover, Lin Yueying was the Empress of West Chu. After all, she had not been punished. He did not dare to offend her too much.
After Lin Yueying reprimanded him angrily, he immediately moved aside and did not dare to stop her.
" Aunt..." Lin Yueying pulled up her skirt and ran inside. She looked at Empress Dowager Lin lying on the bed. Her face was withered and her hair was already white.
"This…this…auntie, this is impossible. Your hair.”
She had come to greet him two days ago. At that time, she was clearly fine, but now…why did it suddenly become like this?
She choked on her sobs, and an indescribable panic rose from the bottom of her heart.
The sleeping Empress Dowager Lin heard her scream and suddenly woke up. "It's…It's fine. Aijia won't die yet."”
"Aunt, I'll go get a doctor. You'll be fine.”Lin Yueying held Empress Dowager Lin's hand tightly. Her hands had long lost their previous luster and warmth. They were only as thin as a stick.
Just what kind of thing had caused Empress Dowager Lin to be so traumatized?
His hair turned white overnight, and his face was full of white hair.
Lin Yueying's tears rolled down like a torrential river and dripped onto their hands.
"Don't, don't invite me, this widow is still alright, this widow has to endure, endure, this Chu family's child is so heartless, this widow…won't let him off.”Empress Dowager Lin grabbed her hand tightly, not letting her take it away.
" But auntie…" Lin Yueying wanted to say something to comfort Empress Dowager Lin, but she couldn't find the words.
Because even she herself did not know what to say about this matter. It would be a lie to say that she did not hate Chu Huaijin. However, she loved him. This man whom she had loved for more than ten years had trampled on the dignity of everyone in the Lin Clan without any scruples. He trampled on them as he pleased and did as he pleased. Other than the veil of the noble lady of the Lin Clan, she was just an ordinary woman. Her love and hate could not change so freely. At this moment, the emotions of love and hate rushed through her heart like a river, and it was like a fire that was burning fiercely in her heart and lungs.
Empress Dowager Lin had too many things she wanted to say and express. However, the impact of the Lin family being raided and punished was too great. She scolded Chu Huaijin and fainted again.
Lin Yueying watched as Empress Dowager Lin fell into her arms. Her body was limp and the wrinkles on her face were folded into folds. She was so scared that she shouted,"Aunt…hurry, call the doctor."
Qing Li hurried to the palace gate and shouted for a long time, but she did not find the imperial physician.
Lin Yueying waited for a long time for the imperial physician to arrive, and her heart was burning with anxiety. She rushed out quickly and kicked the head of the leading guard."Impudent, bengong is still the empress of the harem and bengong's aunt is still the empress dowager.”
The guard leader was a little stunned by her kick. He reacted and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake.
Seeing that he was showing weakness, Lin Yueying's body softened and fell down. The breath that supported her anger slowly dissipated. She leaned into Qing Li's arms and said,""They don't need to invite us. Go and invite Doctor Bai.”
Qing Li helped her to the inner room, took the token, and walked out of the palace.
When the starlight lit up, Qing Li brought Bai Ze to the palace, but they were stopped at the palace gate.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Qing Li, the female official in the Empress 'Palace.”Qing Li handed the token over.
"The emperor has ordered that if the empress is sick, the imperial physician has already arranged for it. There is no need to invite her from outside the palace.”The guard stared straight at Bai Ze, who was carrying the medicine box.
"You…Even if the imperial physician in the Imperial Academy of Medicine is still in the palace, I'm afraid he has gone to Jingning Palace.”Qing Li was not convinced.
The guard only blocked her with his hand and only allowed her to enter. He refused to let Bai Ze in.
Qing Li stomped her feet in anger. First, she said good things, but it didn't work. Then, she threatened.
Bai Ze smiled faintly." Forget it, I'll go back now."”
As soon as they turned around, everyone saw a white figure float past. The person who was standing at the same spot had actually disappeared.
The guard looked into the palace gate and did not find anything strange, so he continued to stand guard.
Qing Li returned to Cining Palace in disappointment. When she saw the person who was treating Empress Dowager Lin, she was so shocked that her eyes almost fell to the ground. She pointed at the white figure and her eyes widened."Your Highness…he…didn't Doctor Bai…didn't this servant not invite him?”
When did he come in?
Bai Ze smiled at her and continued to check Empress Dowager Lin's pulse.
"How is my aunt?" Lin Yueying only had Empress Dowager Lin's illness in her mind. She had no time to care about Qing Li's suspicion.
Bai Ze retracted his hand, and his wide sleeve brushed past the back of Lin Yueying's hand. His cool and indifferent voice floated out,""The Empress Dowager is already beyond cure.”
