Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

When Qin Yili returned to the throne, the most fearful person was the group of people who supported Lin Ziye during this period.

After being summoned again, all the southern ministers who entered the palace knelt together.

Cai Lekang trembled and tried hard to hide his body among everyone, trying to make Qin Yili ignore him.

But how could the loyal ministers in the southern border, who had been tormented by him these days, let him escape?

Everyone squeezed to the side, unwilling to go towards him even if their legs were pressed.

Soon, these ministers gave up the huge palace to a circle of open space where only Cai Lekang was.

This made Qin Yili, who had not thought of him at the beginning, unable to ignore him even if he wanted to.

"Cai Aiqing really had to work hard when she lost power."

The voice was not majestic, sparse and ordinary, but hearing it made Cai Lekang break into a cold sweat.

He pressed his head tightly to the ground: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, my lord, my lord..."

The eloquence that I used to have in the past seems to have been suppressed at this moment, and my words are incomplete.

Slowly looking at the memorials piled up on the dragon table, Qin Yili picked up the top one and asked: "The regulations for the ceremony of establishing the queen?"

It was very quiet in the hall, and the sound of memorials being turned over was very clear.

The memorial that he originally thought would make him a powerful minister has now become a reminder.

Cai Lekang's eyes turned black and his heart was filled with despair.

It’s over.

As he awaits his final execution, he has lost all desire to live.

but--

"Quite attentive."

This cold voice sounded to Cai Lekang no less than a reminder.

No man is willing to be another man's wife, let alone the most noble person in the world.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Qin Yili's decision to execute Da Lingshi and then kill the entire Cai family.

"It's a shame to be alone here. Let the embroiderer not make women's wedding clothes, but make two sets of men's clothes."

Cai Lekang: "...?"

Everyone: "..."

Are they deaf and did they hear something wrong?

"There's still half a month left, can Cai Aiqing finish the job?" Compared to his previous casualness, his words at this moment were much more serious.

Cai Lekang, who was trembling all over, bit the tip of his tongue hard. The pain made him recover from his trembling: "Yes... I can finish it!"

Lin Yichen, who was always standing quietly at the front, hugged Fu Ban and said: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the people in Beiyuan?"

Qin Yili said with a half-smile, "Lin Ziye took over the marriage of Duke Yuncheng alone. This is not considered a breach of trust."

If Prince Cheng were here at this moment, he would be angry and aggrieved when he heard these words.

How is this not a breach of trust?

The marriage he was talking about at the beginning was to marry his daughter to Qin Yili. If the child born to his daughter could inherit the southern territory, wouldn't he have the final say in the world?

How could this be decided by just Lin Ziye!

But even if he were here, who would take his opinion as an opinion as a supported idiot?

"As for the Beiyuan people in the southern border, well... don't touch them yet. After all, they are also the people around Queen Gu. If we kill them all, I'm afraid he will get angry with Gu."

Everyone: "..."

Making everyone feel like they were in the back of their throats, Qin Yili left as if nothing happened.

Lin Yichen's face turned serious as he was stopped by several ministers who were closely related to the Lin family.

"Master Xiaolin, what does your Majesty mean by this? Does he really want Emperor Beiyuan to become the Queen of the Southern Territory? How unbecoming is this!"

"That's right, when did such ridiculous things happen in our southern border? You are His Majesty's companion, please advise him more!"

"If a male queen emerges from the southern border, how will we gain a foothold in the world?"

After calmly waiting for them to vent their dissatisfaction, Lin Yichen said calmly: "My lords, do you think it is embarrassing for our southern territory to have a male queen? Or is it more embarrassing for our southern emperor to become a queen?"

"..."

The people who spoke looked at each other.

The veteran minister who had experienced three dynasties of emperors blew his beard and glared angrily: "Even so, Your Majesty should not act like this and corrupt the virtues of our ancestors!"

The people he respected in the past now looked abominable to Lin Yichen.

"That being the case, why don't you, your lords, pay your respects in front of Emperor Beiyuan?"

His tone was calm, but it was like a hurricane that revealed the cowardice and selfishness hidden under the laws and ethics.

Several old ministers were so angry at his words that their faces turned red: "Shu Zi'er! Shu Zi'er -"

"Master Liu, what did you tell him? Let's go to the Lin Mansion to find Prime Minister Lin."

"Summer insects are nothing more than ice."

Several people were not ashamed at all, but instead accused Lin Yichen of inaction.

A gentleman thinks a lot. Lin Yichen believed that he had to do it himself before he could understand his meaning. However, after this battle, he understood why His Majesty asked him to think more and see more, and not to follow etiquette and put the cart before the horse.

If only he could understand this at that time...

No amount of regrets will help.

All he can do now is not to let his emperor have any regrets.

……

After leaving the court, Qin Yili was not in a hurry to see Lin Ziye, but went to the queen's bedroom.

The palace people along the way knelt down in fear when they saw him.

After asking the palace people who wanted to report to the palace to leave, Qin Yili slowly opened the door of the palace, and the fine light shone through the windows and coffins.

Qianying, who was sitting on the chair with her back to him, didn't look back when she heard the movement.

Footsteps moved forward step by step.

"..."

"Rou'er."

There was his unique passion in his clear tone.

Every time she heard him calling her, Lin Xirou felt that she was the happiest woman in the world, but such happiness...

Ruined by her.

"Rou'er."

No, isn't it an illusion?

She turned around stiffly and saw a man who was much thinner but still had a picturesque face.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" She hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was hoarse, and tears overflowed from her eyes: "Is it really you?"

"Well, it's me."

Staggeringly standing up from the chair, Lin Xirou wanted to pounce on Qin Yili.

But when he was about to touch him, he was dodged.

This time, Lin Xirou woke up from the surprise.

She did something unworthy of His Majesty.

Why do you still have the nerve to touch him?

Seeing his suddenly pale face, Qin Yili still had a gentle smile on his face: "It's not that I didn't give you a choice when I rescued you, but I didn't know that it was my crime to allow you to enter the palace as my queen. "

These words made Lin Xirou's figure even more shaky. She bit her lip: "You, you know?"

"Well, when you cooperated with Qin Mingyu, didn't you just believe his words and think that I made you the queen to make up for the destruction of your Xi family?"

"No, it's not like that..." Lin Xirou wanted to say that these were just words she used to excuse Qin Mingyu. She took the initiative to choose to be the queen in the palace, but she did not think so...

But all the excuses are impossible to refute in the face of facts.

As of now, it doesn't matter what you think.

Qin Yili no longer cared. He took out the jade from his waistband and handed it back: "The Xi family has a deep foundation in the Southern Territory over the years. This time, let them pass the clear path in front of the Southern Border people. If they want to return to Beiyuan, with this No one will stop Yujue."

Lin Xirou looked at the jade in her hand blankly, what does this mean?

"After you leave, I will announce that the Queen has passed away and there will be no more Lin Xirou in the world. Whether you want to stay in the South or return to Beiyuan, you can."

"..."

She stared closely at the person in front of her, her tears like broken pearls: "I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you..."

From the moment they met, Qin Yili avoided physical contact between the two.

Hearing this, he just smiled indulgently: "Now that you have made your choice, don't regret it, just move forward without hesitation."

She regretted it!

don't want……

Don't abandon her...

Even if she can only live in a corner, she still wants to stay where she can see him. She doesn't want to go back to Beiyuan, she doesn't want to...

But these words seemed to be blocked in my throat and I couldn't say them out.

Wiping away her tears, Lin Xirou showed the graceful smile of the past: "I will leave the palace, your majesty, can you... call me Rou'er again?"

After saying that, she burst into tears.

"Rou'er."

Ignoring those bright and soft eyes, Qin Yili calmly cut off her last nostalgia: "In this life, you and I will never see each other again."

After he left, a woman's miserable cry came from behind.

"Tomorrow the death knell will sound. Queen Lin Xirou has passed away."

The palace man's disbelieving eyes reflected Qin Yili's extremely cold face.

Little Bashu, who had not spoken since the duel, timidly asked: [Are you angry? 】

[No, I just remembered something. 】

Looking at the clear and bright sky, Qin Yili said calmly: [From the moment you are put on one end of the scale and given up, giving up is betrayal, and the reasons are just excuses. 】
