Lin Yueying's ears twitched slightly. She was too familiar with this voice.
He had once used the same gentle voice to call her Little Sister Ying 'er. She had also heard him use this voice to read out the allusions in the Four Books. Once, when she accidentally fell, he had comforted her gently.
When she was bullied, he would scold those people angrily…
Later on, this voice was still the same voice, but the words that came out of it were no longer warm. They were all sharp swords. He insulted her, he despised her, he wronged her, he…
That's right, this was Chu Huaijin!
But why was he here?
Before Lin Yueying could think clearly, Chu Huaijin had already said angrily,"
"Hmph, useless thing. You will only embarrass me.”Chu Huaijin only stood at the door when he saw the disheveled Lin Yueying. Her hair was a mess, like a ball of damaged silk. There were several palm prints and footprints on her snow-white clothes. It was obvious at a glance what kind of suffering she had suffered.
She was still the empress now. In the past, she could only rely on her empress dowager aunt to bully Pan 'er in the harem. Now that she was outside, she was even worse than a tiger made of paper. Ordinary people could not be intimidated.
However, seeing this scene, he once again experienced the shamelessness of the survivors of the Lin family's side branch.
As expected, this kind of shameless bad habit could be repeated and left behind indefinitely.
Back when the Lin family was still in their prime, all of the side branches of the Lin family had tried their best to enter the Lin family to suck up to them. Now that they saw the Lin family fall, they did not even take Lin Yueying, the empress he had personally conferred, seriously.
Who gave them face to be so bold?
The more Chu Huaijin thought about it, the angrier he got. He stepped forward and kicked several people who were closest to Lin Yueying.
" Your Majesty..." Lin Yueying saw his tall figure approaching and immediately covered her face with her sleeves.
She couldn't even estimate how pathetic she looked right now.
However, the disgusting smell of saliva was still sticky on her body. As long as she breathed in, she could smell it.
"Hmph, Lin Yueying, where did you go to show off in the palace?”Chu Huaijin clutched his chest and saw the woman curled up on the ground, covering her face with her sleeve. He was angry and hateful, but his heart ached more.
At this moment, the area in his left heart felt as if someone was peeling it open with a knife. It was so painful that he almost could not breathe.
Lin Yueying bowed and ignored his words.
"Emperor, there are still twenty hours to twelve hours.”It wasn't that she was ignoring him on purpose, but she didn't know how to answer him. She had never done anything like the swagger in his words in the palace. On the other hand, Shen Pan 'er had been disrespectful to her time and time again because she was favored by him. She often mocked her in front of her and cried pitifully behind her back.
"Lin Yueying, I only came out to see you make a fool of yourself.”Chu Huaijin couldn't describe how he felt when she ignored him and chased him away. He gritted his teeth and spoke out his hatred.
"My father is already dead, and the dead are the most important. Moreover, all the things of the Lin family are already in that seal. I hope the emperor will be magnanimous and let my father's corpse go.”Of course, Lin Yueying knew that he was here to make a fool of Lin Mocheng. She did not ask for anything except for him to let go of his corpse. It did not matter how he humiliated her, but she did not want to target her father anymore.
" Lin Yue Ying…" Chu Huaijin's heart was pounding.
"In your heart, am I someone who won't even let go of a corpse?”
Why did he follow her out? He had been impulsive at that time and left Qi Rengao's memorial in the royal study. He had not thought about it at all. Now that he thought about it, his impulse at that time had turned into hatred for Lin Yueying.
This hateful woman…Chu Huaijin gritted his teeth.
He turned around and snorted coldly. He waved his sleeve and left with his guards.
His feet were on the threshold of the mortuary, and his voice was like a sword pointing at Lin Yueying's chest.
"If I don't see you in Xifeng Palace in twenty hours, I will dig up all the graves of your Lin family and whip their corpses, making them die in peace because of you.”
Lin Yueying's body was as stiff as a wooden stake. She lay on the ground covered in saliva and dust and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
" Your Highness…" The footsteps behind her faded away, and Qing Li carefully went forward to help Lin Yueying up.
He got some wine and helped her clean her face. As he washed her face, tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
Lin Yueying reached into the broken jar to wash it and caressed her eyes."Don't cry. Perhaps my father's departure is also a form of relief.”
It was better than her not being able to die even if she wanted to.
The cold touch mixed with tears tightly held the hearts of the two weak women together.
Lin Mocheng's grave was located on the small hill of the Lin family's ancestral grave.
It was a small mound covered in yellow mud. In front of the grave stood a stake made of wood, on which was engraved the words 'Lin Shi Mo Cheng'. There was no epitaph, nor was there a word written on it.
The sky was filled with white streamers, and Qing Li scattered paper money around the new grave, muttering something.
Lin Yueying knelt in front of the grave and took out two pearl-adorned fans from her pocket.
" Father, so you've always admired aunt…Unfortunately, fate is playing with people and made you miss each other when you were alive. I'm unfilial and can't give you too many things. These two things are the only things you left for each other. Now, I'll bury them in front of your grave. I hope that you can have a trace of nostalgia after you die.”
Lin Yueying kowtowed three times in the direction of the royal garden and mausoleum."Aunt, you love Father, and Father has never forgotten you. Aren't you glad to know that? The past, such as the morning dew, is a bitter day. No matter what debt you owe when you were alive, you have paid it all. If that person is still dissatisfied, there is still a niece who will continue to pay for you and father.”
After paying her respects to Empress Dowager Lin and Lin Mocheng, she staggered all the way to the Lin family's ancestral grave. She knelt in front of her mother's grave at the outermost area and kowtowed nine times without saying anything.
"Mother, you won't blame me, right? Father and aunt…don't complain about them being so lovey-dovey under the spring. You're lonely, so perhaps I'll come and accompany you soon. When I go down, we'll come and look at the pear blossoms and peach blossoms in the spring like before…In the summer, we'll hide in the Green Lotus Pavilion at home and look at the lotus leaves and fields. In autumn, we can also admire chrysanthemums and climb high. As for winter, painting the Nine Winter Plum Blossom Painting together is also a great pleasure in life. Mother, what do you think?”
A mournful and melodious voice spilled out from between the two thin lips. It was like a mandarin duck that had lost its companion, causing people to ponder.
The cold wind blew, and the coolness blew into his heart and lungs. His already exhausted body could no longer hold on, and his hand that was holding the tombstone fell down…
The moment she fell, she seemed to see a pair of dark green boots fall in front of her. An indescribable smile flashed across her lips.
