Bai Ze was confused and suddenly fell to the side."Yue Ying…You…You drugged me?”
Lin Yueying helped him to the bed and tucked him in just like he had done earlier. Tears fell."I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to see the clouds.”
"I'm an unlucky person. If you're with me, you won't have a good ending.”If they continued to stay here, not only would the Lin family's ancestral grave be lost, but even this place would probably be destroyed.
Thinking back to the series of blows she had suffered, Lin Yueying's state of mind had actually changed a long time ago. She no longer wanted to stay in that annoying palace. However, when she thought of Chu Huaijin's threat…her heart skipped a beat. She turned around and walked briskly towards the other door.
The eastern sky was suddenly filled with multicolored light, like rainbows illuminating that slender figure.
Lin Yueying returned to the palace when the last of the sunset disappeared from the glazed tiles of the palace.
She had been walking and thinking all along. Perhaps her life had been wrong from the moment she met Chu Huaijin.
If they hadn't been together since they were young and had shown such a deep relationship, her father wouldn't have wanted to support him in the fight for the throne back then. Then, she wouldn't have entered the palace, and her aunt wouldn't have been placed under house arrest by him. She wouldn't have died of illness from anger, her father wouldn't have committed suicide, and the Lin family wouldn't have fallen...
There were too many impossibilities, but they all became possible in the last moment.
She clutched her injured heart, which was in so much pain that her heart ached.
Squeezing through the door of Phoenix Perch Palace, she saw Chu Huaijin's dark and stiff face.
His tall and straight figure stood under the glass lamp, and his huge shadow enveloped her entire body on the wall. From her point of view, she looked like a prey that had been swallowed by the devil.
When Chu Huaijin heard the sound of her return, he turned around and stared at her with his sharp eyes. His gaze seemed to contain thousands of blades, piercing straight into her eyes.
Lin Yueying's body trembled. When she stepped over the threshold, she staggered and almost fell.
Seeing that she couldn't even walk steadily, Chu Huaijin became even angrier. He kicked Qing Li, who had been sent back earlier, towards her.
"Lin Yueying…how dare you. Look at the time. Have you completely ignored what I said to you?”
The 12th hour had already arrived at 10:00 pm. Now that the sky was dark and the black clouds were rolling, the 12th hour had already passed.
Lin Yueying leaned against the door frame and ignored the threshold under her feet. She reflexively reached out to catch the person, but the force of the kick was too strong. It hit her ankle, causing her and Qing Li to roll on the ground, bleeding.
Lin Yueying fell so hard that she subconsciously used her arm to support Qing Li's body. The remaining strength of Chu Huaijin's body was all transferred to her body, causing her arm to be dislocated with a crack.
Lin Yueying rolled on the ground twice before she struggled to get up with one hand. Her body was covered in dust and her face was stained with dirt, making her look even more miserable.
Chu Huaijin looked at her in disgust and turned his head away.
He didn't even need to insult her like this. She had already tormented herself enough.
Lin Yueying leaned against the high threshold, tears rolling in her eyes. She tilted her head to the other side, trying to lock her tears in her eyes and not let them flow out. However, her tears did not listen to her and fell along the stains on her face. Her good face instantly became a big mess.
She did not miss the slightest bit of disgust and hatred on Chu Huaijin's face. She thought about the hardships she had gone through along the way and her thoughts.
She slowly straightened up, picked up a handkerchief, and wiped her face clean. Then, she straightened her back and said in a clear voice,"ChenQie is not virtuous enough, nor gentle enough. Now that she is crippled and unable to continue the emperor's dragon vein, she also has no ability to manage the six palaces.”
Lin Yueying gritted her teeth and said the last four words. Every word was powerful and powerful.
It kept echoing in the spacious palace, ringing out…It struck Chu Huaijin's thoughts again and again.
"Madame Lin, don't think that just because you've asked to be deposed, I won't punish you.”Chu Huaijin did not believe that Lin Yueying would ask to be crippled at this moment.
In his opinion, this must be another of her schemes. She wanted to retreat in order to advance. The women of their Lin family were the best at scheming. In the past, Empress Dowager Lin had played with all the concubines in the palace.
Lin Yueying was not bad either. She was usually smart and eloquent…
"Emperor, ChenQie requests to depose the Empress." Lin Yueying knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. The loud sound of her kowtowing on the marble floor struck Chu Huaijin's heart like thunder.
" Enough…" He roared and kicked her.
This Lin Yueying was not the Lin family that he had known before. The Lin family treated power as a treasure and would rather give up their lives to keep power for the family.
"Hmph, don't think that Zhen will fall for your trick.”Chu Huaijin waved his sleeves and summoned the servants who served the brush and ink."Xiao Luzi, immediately draft an edict for Zhen. Lin is a member of the Lin family. Zhen will strip Lin of her position as empress and move her out of Xifeng Palace and throw her into the cold palace.”
Lin Yueying lay limply on the red carpet. Her eyes were closed, and she could not help but smile.
It had been so long. She was so tired. At this moment, she had let go of everything. She felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
The cold wind blew, and the walls of the Cold Palace were broken. The sound of broken wood being blown to the ground could be heard everywhere. Occasionally, there would be the squeaking of rats. Under the faint cold moon, Lin Yueying leaned against the wooden bed of the Cold Palace and watched them pass by in groups. From time to time, they would let out a few happy sounds, as if they were welcoming her arrival, but also showing off to her that this was their territory.
Lin Yueying stared at them quietly. Her eyes were wide open until they were swollen and uncomfortable. She blinked. The tears in her eyes had long disappeared. She tried hard to squeeze out a few tears, but she could not.
She did not know when, but her eyes had already dried up for him.
"So you like this place so much. It seems that I should have let you stay here long ago.”Chu Huaijin's voice followed her like a shadow, scaring the dark Lin Yueying as if her heart had been bitten by a mouse. It was painful, itchy, and disgusting, but she could not say it out loud.
"The emperor is the emperor, the Son of Heaven. You can say whatever you like.”
She was no longer as respectful and meek as before.
In just a few days, she had lost too many family members and too many things that belonged to her. Tonight, even the only love she had hidden in the depths of her heart for that person was slowly losing it. Now, there was nothing that she could not lose, so why did she still have to suffer?
