"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."

As Lin Minghua finished speaking, the people around him finally came to their senses. Lin Zhiyu turned around and met Zhou Tingchen's probing gaze.

Lin Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat, wondering how much of what he just said had been heard.

Mo Ju supported Lin Minghua and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the eldest lady just spoke rudely to the empress. Please ask the emperor to make the decision for the empress."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhiyu was pushed to the position of the perpetrator.

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with my sister. It's my sister who said the wrong thing that made her feel unhappy." Seeing Zhou Tingchen's eyes lingering on Lin Zhiyu, Lin Minghua quickly squeezed out two drops. Tears came out, trying to win Zhou Tingchen's sympathy.

"Empress, you can't keep abusing yourself like this! It was the same in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and now it's the same in the palace. I really can't stand it!" Mo Ju made a bitter look on her face and turned to look at Zhou Tingchen, "Empress I am a concubine and I have always tolerated everything, but the eldest girl just went too far and dared to make fun of the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen!"

The two masters and servants sang and harmonized, which made everyone present stunned. They looked at Lin Zhiyu with some disgust in their eyes.

Lies just come out of his mouth, he is indeed the real one! Lin Zhiyu mocked silently in his heart.

Who is tolerant in everything, and who is acting recklessly on the basis of favor?

You can even do things like steal other people's husbands, who is the one who goes too far?

Qiao Xiu and Lin Zhiyu looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

"Concubine Jia, it's up to you to decide the cause and effect."

Lin Minghua originally thought that Zhou Tingchen would help her up as usual, but unexpectedly, Zhou Tingchen directly bypassed her and gently helped Zhuang Younan up.

His body was wet, and he didn't have any covering clothes at hand. Lin Minghua's fists under his sleeves clenched unconsciously.

Zhuang Younan looked flattered and explained the matter in detail.

When he heard that Lin Minghua accidentally fell into Yue Li Pond, Zhou Tingchen's eyes were filled with a dark and unclear emotion.

Lin Minghua, who had been observing Zhou Tingchen's expression, accurately captured this subtle change in expression, and quickly and quietly touched Mo Ju with his arm.

Mo Ju understood in her heart, took two steps on her knees, and cut off Zhuang Younan's words: "Your Majesty, this is all caused by the eldest girl! She deliberately asked the Queen to administer justice and lured the Queen to such a dangerous place. You know, the Queen will not If you know how to swim, if something happens to you, what should you do?"

"Can't swim?" Zhou Tingchen's eyes dimmed, "You don't know how to swim?"

Shouldn't he question Lin Zhiyu immediately? Why would Zhou Tingchen care about whether he knew how to get wet?

Lin Minghua's brain was spinning rapidly. Since he couldn't figure out why Zhou Tingchen cared about this, he could only answer vaguely: "Maybe I have learned it before, but it has been too long and I have become a lot rusty."

Zhou Tingchen frowned and thought for a moment, but still chose to believe Lin Minghua's words. With a hint of distress in his eyes, he took off his robe and walked forward to put it on Lin Minghua.

"It's windy today, so the queen should be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Minghua stood up with Zhou Tingchen's help, looking like a delicate little flower who had been wronged, with his head lowered and his eyes filled with pride.

Zhuang Xiao let out a soft "tsk" and was very disdainful of the behavior of the nominal "brother-in-law" in front of him.

Only then did Zhou Tingchen notice that there was Zhuang Xiao here, who was also wet all over.

"Mo Ju, take the Queen back to change clothes first."

Zhou Tingchen's tone was obviously displeased.

"Commander Zhuang's protection has been meritorious. Eunuch Zhang, go back and send the nine-gold pendant to Commander Zhuang."

Eunuch Zhang responded quickly.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xiao did not express gratitude. Instead, he looked at Zhou Tingchen's hand around Lin Minghua's waist and said without hesitation: "Compared with the reward, I hope that my sister will be happy. I also ask the emperor to take back my life."

Eunuch Zhang stamped his foot: "Commander Zhuang is confused. With this nine-gold pendant, he can travel unimpeded in the palace!"

Whoever has this nine-gold pendant means that he is the most trusted person by the emperor. Even the prince and princess will give him three points of favor.

"Eunuch Zhang doesn't know that something happened to my family when I was young. It was my sister who held up the world for me. My eldest sister is like a mother. Her happiness is also my happiness." Zhuang Xiao was unmoved.

Zhuang Younan's eyes were a little moist, how could he look like he had just been so quarrelsome?

Zhou Tingchen was obviously a little moved. He took back his hand that was on Lin Minghua. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhuang Younan say: "The emperor naturally has his own considerations in doing this."

As she said that, she looked at Zhou Tingchen softly: "The emperor can always take care of my incompetent brother. I am already grateful in my heart. As for anything else, I don't dare to ask for anything else."

"Just accept these nine gold pendants." Zhou Tingchen sighed. Although Lin Minghua was the one he loved, Zhuang Younan's unique temperament also deeply attracted him. "As for your sister, don't worry, I will never It will make her feel a little wronged."

Lin Minghua felt that his waist was empty, his heart was a little unbalanced, and his expression was a little lost.

This is how a man looks. When he sees a wife who manages the house well, he misses the charming concubine on the other side. He holds the concubine in his arms. Then he despises her for not being as attractive as the oiran. When he gets to the flower house, he misses someone else's wife again.

Lin Zhiyu looked at it with cold eyes, full of disdain.

Zhou Tingchen's eyes gleamed again: "The palace servants in charge of cleaning today will each be fined twenty taels of salary. They will go to the consul to receive their fines."

The little palace maid lying on the ground had been frightened for a long time. Even though she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say a word, so she had to write down her grievances on Lin Minghua.

Lin Minghua didn't realize it, stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Tingchen's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with my sister. Please don't punish my sister."

He said this, but in his heart he hoped that Zhou Tingchen would punish Lin Zhiyu severely.

When Zhou Tingchen lowered his head, he saw Lin Minghua's tabby cat-like face wrinkled together. He didn't feel aggrieved at all, but he was quite funny.

He coughed lightly and looked away, but Lin Minghua's words fell into his heart.

In his impression, Lin Zhiyu had always been arrogant and domineering. He thought that Lin Minghua was afraid that if he stood up for her, Lin Zhiyu would bully her even more. He comforted her softly: "As long as I am here, no one will bully you."

Yo, yo, this tone is so domineering.

Although Lin Zhiyu's identity is not as impressive as Zhou Tingchen's, it does not prevent her from secretly feeling evil in her heart.

"Lin Zhiyu, you have been so wanton and reckless since you were a child, and now you are going to become Princess Jin. Unexpectedly, you have not changed at all, and you dare to openly contradict the queen. Just kneel here for half an hour."
