Qing Li saw that Lin Yueying's expression was not right. She knelt there motionlessly and stared at her. She quickly helped her take out the item.
Under the dim light, a folding fan made of jade bones was light and small, with pearls hanging from the tail.
The light was too dim, so Lin Yueying brought it in front of her. She looked around and saw the crabapple flower carved on it with a small knife. Suddenly, she understood something. Her eyes hurt, and a few tears came out. She held it tightly in her hand and put it into her sleeve. Then, she stood up.
" Your Majesty, this is…" Qing Li looked around worriedly. Fortunately, no one was looking in her direction.
"BenGong will personally bury my father.”After crying, Lin Yueying went back and bowed.
Qing Li was trying to stop her, but she saw Lin Yueying leave the prison excitedly and go all the way to the Perched Phoenix Palace.
Once she reached the palace, she went straight into the inner hall and started rummaging through her dowry boxes.
"Empress niangniang, if you want to find something, just instruct this servant to find it.”Qing Li looked at her slender body and saw that she was about to flip the mahogany boxes. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"No need. Only I know where this thing is.”
As he spoke, he plunged into the mahogany box again.
When she reached the last box, she finally found what she wanted.
Qing Li focused her eyes and saw a pure white jade seal. There were very small words on it. She was far away and couldn't see it clearly.
After Lin Yueying found it, she couldn't be happy and immediately left the palace to the royal study.
She didn't say anything to her, but Qing Li didn't dare to leave her alone. She could only follow her step by step.
Chu Huaijin frowned when he saw Lin Yueying, who had suddenly appeared in front of him after disappearing for four hours.
Someone had already reported her actions in the imperial prison to him.
Now that he saw that she hadn't even had the time to change her clothes and her hair was untidy, he felt a little unhappy.
Lin Yueying used to be such a particular person, but now she had become like this.
"Emperor, ChenQie requests to leave the palace to bury her father.”Lin Yueying lay on the ground and bowed deeply. Then, she whispered the purpose of her trip.
"How dare you, Lin Yueying? Who gave you the guts?”Chu Huaijin slammed his palm on the table.
She could really imagine that the dignified mother of a country would actually want to leave the palace for such a small matter.
"Emperor, no one gave this concubine the courage. That is this concubine's biological father, a teacher who once treated you like a student. Even if there is something wrong with him, but…"
Lin Yueying straightened her back and choked as she argued.
Everyone knew that Lin Mocheng had contributed greatly to Chu Huaijin's success.
Back then, he was the youngest. Because he didn't have his mother, he couldn't find his teacher. Only Lin Mocheng was willing to take the initiative to push him as his teacher.
To let him come and go to Lin Manor…
Later on, she had painstakingly helped him build up momentum many times, deliberately creating opportunities for him to express himself.
It was also from that time that the reputation of the Fifth Prince gradually spread in the court and was recognized by others.
But now, Lin Mocheng had died in the Heaven Prison. He, a former student, couldn't even let her, a daughter, collect his body.
To put it nicely, he was the emperor. He was just and honest, and he was a righteous person. However, to put it bluntly, he was deceiving his teacher and destroying his ancestors. He did not have the slightest self-awareness of being Lin Mocheng's student.
"Hmph, Lin Yueying, do you still want to remind me that a teacher for a day is a father for life?”
Lin Yueying choked, and her heart tightened again.
She knew that Chu Huaijin would definitely not agree to her request, but she had to go. She clenched the jade fan in her sleeve and the white jade seal in her hand.
"Your Majesty, didn't you once ask me where the Lin family's inheritance is?"”
Chu Huaijin's eyes darkened, and his gaze fell directly on Lin Yueying's lowered eyes.
Suddenly, he leaned forward and grabbed her wrist, dragging her in front of him. He pinched her chin with two fingers of his right hand and raised it slightly. He gritted his teeth and glared at her."Lin Yueying, you're not bad. You're actually bold enough to negotiate with me?”
Lin Yueying tried to struggle free from his grip, but when she tried to move, Chu Huaijin's hands were like iron arms that clamped tightly around her, making her unable to move. Because of her struggle, Chu Huaijin exerted even more strength on her chin. At this moment, her chin hurt as if it had been removed.
"Ugh…let go of me." She shook her head anxiously.
It was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Think carefully before you say it. If you say something that zhen doesn't like to hear, then blame zhen for dislocating your chin and making you the only empress in West Chu who can't speak.”
Lin Yueying was forced to lift herself up by his large palm. She looked at Chu Huaijin with tears in her eyes.
His fingers tightened around the thing in his palm, as if he was about to throw it out.
"Your Majesty…the thing…the thing is in my hands. If Your Majesty wants it, then let ChenQie go out of the palace to bury my father. If Your Majesty…if Your Majesty doesn't like it and doesn't want it, ChenQie will smash it to prevent it from harming the world.”
Her hand was raised straight, and the stiff curve made Chu Huaijin nervous.
The Lin family's inheritance was like something from the legends of West Chu.
This time, even if he ordered the Lin family's house to be raided, he could not find it. It turned out that it had been hidden on his good Empress all along.
Lin Mocheng, oh Lin Mocheng, as expected of an old fox.
"Hand it over." Chu Huaijin reached out his other hand and pried it away from her hand, wanting to take it directly.
However, Lin Yueying suddenly had a sudden burst of strength that came from nowhere. She held the thing tightly in her hand and did not let go at all.
"Did you hear that?" Chu Huaijin was a little unhappy. His sharp eyes turned into sharp blades that flew straight at her.
"The Emperor has agreed." This was Lin Yueying's final request, and the only bargaining chip she could use to negotiate with Chu Huaijin.
If she lost it, she would really be worthless to Chu Huaijin.
Sometimes, she even guessed that perhaps it was because of this thing that she could still sit on the Empress's seat. Otherwise, with Chu Huaijin's hatred for her, he would have used the matter of the prince to cripple her.
"24 hours. Get out now. If you don't come back tomorrow, I can raid the Lin family and dig up the ancestral graves.”Chu Huaijin threw a token into Lin Yueying's hand and then forcefully pulled the white jade seal from her hand. He glared at her hatefully and gritted his teeth to say a few words.
Lin Yueying let go of Chu Huaijin's hand in a daze after receiving his affirmative answer. Chu Huaijin loosened his grip and pulled her away forcefully. Lin Yueying fell like a rag and flew straight to the dark green carpet in the room. Her forehead touched the ground, adding a new wound to the wound that had not fully healed.
However, Lin Yueying could not care less about self-pity at this moment. She wiped her wound hard. Seeing that it was only a little broken, she stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her clothes before leaving.
Chu Huaijin's eyes darkened as he looked at her determined back…
