After Lin Yueying recovered from her grief, she stood up straight and wiped her tears. She ordered coldly,"Men, change your clothes."
"Niangniang, where are you going? The sky…the sky is almost dark.”
Lin Yueying's face showed a bit of sorrow."Send my father off to the imperial prison.”
"Niangniang…we are now…the emperor won't allow it.”Qing Li lowered her head, feeling extremely miserable.
How could her empress be like this? She was such a good person.
"BenGong must go." Lin Yueying's voice was extremely determined, and her eyes were filled with determination as she looked at Qing Li.
Qing Li had no choice but to help her take off her brocade clothes and change into a plain long robe and skirt. She was afraid of the cold wind, so she specially put on a white cloak for her.
"Niangniang, I'm afraid they won't let you out.”Qing Li was still a little worried after helping Lin Yueying dress up.
Lin Yueying snorted coldly and ignored him.
When he arrived at the palace gate, as expected, he was stopped by the guards.
"Open the door…or else, BenGong will die in front of you.”Lin Yueying took out a dagger from her sleeve and placed it in front of her neck. Her face was filled with despair.
"This…Your Majesty, this subordinate has also been ordered by the Emperor to guard this place. Please do not make things difficult for this subordinate.”
"Making things difficult for you? What a joke. You've been standing here for a month, when has bengong made things difficult for you? bengong's father died in the Heaven Prison, and now bengong is going to send him off on his last journey, but you all are obstructing him in every possible way.”Lin Yueying's voice was gentle, but her hand was not polite at all. She gently cut the fair skin on her neck, and blood immediately appeared.
" Empress…Empress, don't be agitated. We will immediately report to the Emperor and ask for instructions from the Imperial Decree before…"
"Open the door." Lin Yueying suddenly raised her voice. A drop of bright red blood had already dripped from her fair hand.
"Yes…yes, this subordinate will obey.”The guard no longer dared to be stubborn.
Before the Emperor ordered them to guard her, he had instructed them that as long as she did not leave the palace and did not see anyone else, they could not harm her life.
Since the Emperor had given such an order, it meant that the Empress was not completely out of favor like what the others in the palace said. What if she had just thrown a tantrum with the Emperor this time, and when the two of them had their temper over, she would be favored again? Wouldn't they become the target of their anger?
They didn't dare to stop Lin Yueying, but they also didn't dare to let her wander around the palace. One of them could only follow her the whole time, while the other ran to the royal study to report back.
Lin Yueying didn't care if there was someone behind her and only let Qing Li lead the way to the imperial prison.
It was not so easy to enter the imperial prison.
"Stop right there." The guards of the Heaven Prison only saw the officials in charge of interrogation and interrogation. They had never seen Lin Yueying before. Seeing that she had barged in silently, they immediately stopped her.
"Dog slave, you must be blind. This is the Empress's arrival, and you dare to stop her?”Qing Li stepped forward and scolded that person.
The man was frightened by her and took advantage of the dusk to see the token in her hand clearly. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed repeatedly. However, when he heard that Lin Yueying wanted to go in, he refused to let her in no matter what. He only said that these were the felons the Emperor had ordered to be imprisoned and that no one was allowed to see them.
Seeing that Qing Li's words were useless, Lin Yueying didn't want to make things difficult for a mere palace maid. She sighed and turned around to go to the royal study.
The sky had already darkened.
When Chu Huaijin heard that she had come, his heart was already filled with anger.
"Hmph, the Lin family's daughter is indeed not bad. Do you think this harem is your Lin family's back garden? Do you think you can do whatever you want?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueying knew that he already knew that she had forcefully broken out of the Perched Phoenix Palace.
" Your Majesty... please have mercy. I only want to send my father off. Although he was thrown into prison by the Emperor, he is still my father. A daughter sending her father off is a moral thing to do..." Lin Yueying looked at his dark face and was afraid that he would not be willing. Before he could speak, she stopped him with words.
"Lin Yueying, Lin Yueying, it's already come to this. Are you still playing tricks on me?”Chu Huaijin's heart ached when he saw her pale white body, haggard face, and withered appearance. He had already decided not to make things difficult for her for the time being.
However, when he heard her say that she did not believe him, he was inexplicably furious.
The result of the anger was that the conversation between the two of them ended on bad terms.
Lin Yueying cried out in despair. Chu Huaijin impatiently ordered his men to chase her out.
Seeing the mahogany carved door slam shut, Lin Yueying lay outside the royal study and cried non-stop. Her body was arched, and her heart was broken.
After an hour, Chu Huaijin looked at the pile of memorials and asked the eunuch with him impatiently,""Xiao Luzi, is she still outside?”
Xiao Luzi had already gone to take a look and nodded.""Replying to the emperor, the empress has been kneeling.”
After another two hours, the glass lamp in the palace accidentally burned to the point of a crack, making a crisp crackling sound. Chu Huaijin snorted impatiently again. Looking at the memorial that he had not read much, he was inexplicably annoyed."It's already time to leave, right?”
Xiao Luzi's eyes darkened, and he peeked out through the crack of the door.""Replying to the emperor, it's still gone."
"Lin Yueying…she's really bold. She's forcing me to do this. Go tell her that if she continues to kneel and refuse to leave, I'll stop people from collecting Lin Mocheng's corpse.”
The door of the royal study was very thick, but Chu Huaijin's angry roar was very loud. Lin Yueying could still hear it clearly through the heavy door.
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and her body trembled.
At this moment, her heart was in extreme despair. She clenched the dagger in her sleeve tightly, relaxed, relaxed, and clenched it again and again, repeating that action.
However, in the end, she still did not have the courage to charge at him with a dagger like before.
She had been humble in front of him for too long. She was used to loving him to the bone, listening to his orders, and thinking for him. Her love for him had become a habit.
"Emperor…. Emperor, I beg you, I beg you to have mercy. As long as the emperor lets this concubine go to the imperial prison, this concubine is willing to do anything the emperor wants.”
"Alright, you said it." Chu Huaijin's heart had already tightened when he heard her sad and determined cries. Now that he had a way out, he did not hesitate to step down.
He asked Xiao Luzi to throw out a token, but he didn't even bother to come out to see her.
Lin Yueying endured the hole in her heart and covered it tightly with her hands as she left in tears.
Xiao Luzi looked at the back view and shook his head.""Last time, the Empress also knelt for an entire night.”
When was the last time?
"That night when the Emperor punished Lord Lin." Xiao Luzi whispered.
Chu Huaijin's heart ached, and he almost staggered. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully,""She wants to kneel so badly. If she wants to kneel again in the future, let her kneel as much as she wants.”
Xiao Luzi lowered his head and responded softly, but he was extremely sad.
He had once thought that the Emperor and the Empress were a match made in heaven. They were once so close. When he saw the Emperor pamper the Empress in his hands when he was young, he felt that the Empress was sent by the heavens to save the Emperor. He thought that he could finally live happily ever after.
But…
In the end, the world was no match for fate.
……
It was Lin Yueying's first time in the imperial prison. She had never expected that the imperial prison would be so gloomy and dark. The light from the torch on the wall seemed to be suppressed by something. Every cell was gloomy and dark.
She passed through the dark corridor and came to the innermost cell. She saw Lin Mocheng covered in blood.
It was said that he had taken off his prison clothes and hanged himself to death. His death was extremely ugly.
Therefore, the jailer placed him on his side to avoid scaring her.
"Father…"
Lin Yueying hugged Lin Mocheng's cold corpse and cried for a long time until her throat went hoarse and her tears dried up. Then, she leaned over and hugged Lin Mocheng with tears in her eyes.
Her fingers pressed lightly, but something hard pressed against her fingers.
What was this?
