In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

Lin Qingye finally calmed down at this moment. She looked at the queen calmly and spoke after a while.

"Empress, please speak frankly. I am not used to you praising me like this."

The queen seemed not to have heard Lin Qingye's words at this moment. She was still sitting there in a condescending manner, but her expression seemed extremely lonely, like a plant that was about to wither.

"Do you know? I am the daughter of the Zhou family, and I was raised as a queen since I was a child.

I learned to read at the age of three, wrote poems at the age of five, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting at the age of seven.

When I didn't even know who my future husband would be, I already knew that I would be the queen.

Look at that noble lady Yu, a wild girl picked up by the emperor from the street, she can't even read a few characters! How can she do that?

Look at the third prince's biological mother! She is just a lowly foot-washing maid! What right does she have?

Even that eldest prince dared to harm my Xuan'er! His biological mother was just a concubine's daughter of a minor official! What right did he have!

I was born nobler than them! The children I gave birth to will naturally be superior to their children! Why do they fight with me!

I have suffered a hundred times more than them! Have they ever tried to carry books on their heads all day long from the moment they open their eyes? Have they ever tried to recite books every day until dawn even when they can't put them down to eat? Have they ever tried to kneel under the scorching sun for a whole day because they didn't play a melody correctly?

You tell me! You tell me why they should fight with me! Do you know how much effort I have put in to get here?

I am the Empress Zhou, the mother of the country! The child I give birth to should be named the crown prince!

Those idiots they gave birth to! How dare they compete with my son! Or fight for something that originally belonged to him! "

At this moment, Lin Qingye was looking at the queen who was still sitting upright above him. From her few words, he seemed to see her first half of life.

It was as if I saw the proud, brave, strong and stubborn little girl beneath her gorgeous appearance.

The Queen could tell that she was a lady from a noble family who had received a strict upbringing, because even though she was speaking so emotionally, her demeanor was still dignified and steady, and even her hair at the temples was so meticulous.

Lin Qing had to admit that at this moment, she admired the queen from the bottom of her heart, but this was not enough to cover up the queen's crimes.

Lin Qing was also stunned for a while, and finally spoke slowly.

"But this can't be a reason for you to poison my mother."

After hearing this, the queen's eyes suddenly became sharp. She stared at Lin Qingye and spoke seriously word by word.

"I don't have any."

After listening to this, Lin Qing also carefully looked at the queen's expression. After feeling that she did not seem to be lying, Lin Qing finally asked in confusion.

"That's not what you told me before."

After hearing this, the queen seemed to suddenly react and quickly changed the subject, muttering.

"When truth is false, falsehood is true. Everything in the harem is true and false, falsehood is true..."

Lin Qingye felt that he was becoming more and more confused the more he listened. However, the Queen's expression just now did not seem like she was lying, and a seed of doubt was planted in Lin Qingye's heart.

Seeing that Lin Qing did not respond, the Queen finally spoke formally.

"Our country is about to go to war with the Northern Kingdom, and Xuan'er wants to lead the troops in person. Do you know about this?"

Lin Qing was holding a cup of tea and was about to take a sip, but after hearing the queen's words, the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The Northern War? Lin Qingye's mind immediately flashed back to his memories of the Northern War in his previous life.

In the previous life, the war in the Northern Kingdom broke out before Lin Qingye came of age, and the Fifth Prince personally led the troops to fight.

Not long after the Fifth Prince left, he was captured by General Chi Yuan of the Northern Kingdom. In the end, his head was cut off and sent back.

After Lin Qing was reborn, he never heard any news of the invasion from the Northern Country again. He just thought that many things had changed in time after his rebirth.

Lin Qing also suddenly realized that maybe after his rebirth, those small things would change, but those big things would still happen as they should.

She, Lin Qing, might be able to change some insignificant things, but she could not change the course of history.

Lin Qing also swallowed hard. At this moment, she only felt her throat tightening. She couldn't help swallowing again and again. Her throat moved up and down violently along with her heart.

The Queen did not seem to have expected Lin Qingye to have such a big reaction. When she first learned about the friendship between Lin Qingye and Ye Tingxuan, she thought that Lin Qingye was just greedy for power.

The queen was also somewhat moved at this moment. She frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Qingye heard the Queen's voice at this moment and came back to her senses. She found that her eyes were filled with tears.

When the queen saw this, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

But she was the queen after all, and this expression only appeared on her face briefly before she quickly suppressed it.

Lin Qing finally spoke with a choked voice and a slightly pleading tone.

"My Queen...

Please stop the Sixth Prince from going there."

The queen stared at Lin Qingye with a scrutinizing look on her face. After looking at him for a moment, she finally asked suspiciously.

"Do you know something?"

Lin Qingye didn't care about so much at this moment, she repeated it with a slightly tearful voice.

"Empress...

Please find a way to stop the Sixth Prince."

Seeing that Lin Qing was sincere and had a genuine look on his face, the Queen finally stopped worrying about it and sighed slowly.

“I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to intervene in this matter, as Xuan’er personally requested the Emperor’s order.

But the emperor has not yet announced this matter to the public, which means that there is still hope for a turnaround.”

After hearing this, Lin Qing's eyes immediately showed joy.

"Empress, do you have any plan to deal with this?"

After hearing this, the queen snorted in self-mockery.

"Do you think I look like someone who has a plan for dealing with this?

If I had a plan to deal with it, would I summon you today?

You don't really think that I summoned you into the palace today just to chat with you, do you?

Your brain is good for a while, and bad for a while."

After hearing what the Queen said, the little bit of good impression Lin Qing had for her was also dispelled. Only then did she realize how she had behaved at the moment.

At this moment, Lin Qing took a deep breath, trying to suppress his emotions, but his hands were out of control and began to shake violently.
