After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Queen Wang and Wang Yueying looked as pale as death. They knew that everything was over!

They are finished, the Wang family is finished, and the Eastern Palace is finished...

Lin Shaoshu suppressed his ecstasy, looked at Mu Xingyun at the door, and said, "Your Highness, we will obey your orders. We will live up to your expectations and put an end to the disaster in Kyoto."

Listening to the two people's solemn voices, Emperor Yonghui said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. Shaojin's military token has not been retrieved yet. Let's deal with the matter of the temporary palace first."

At this point, a hint of sharpness flashed in Emperor Yonghui's tired eyes, and he looked at Queen Wang and his aunt and nephew Wang Yueying standing beside him.

He ordered Xia Yan: "Without my order, no one has the right to deal with the queen."

Others were fine with what he said, but the Empress Dowager turned pale. She knew that Emperor Yonghui's words were directed at her!

Although Lin Shaoshu and Mu Xingyun used their quick wits to pull them out of the turmoil last night, the empress dowager herself knew that there was a crack in the trust between her and Emperor Yonghui, so she did not win.

And the culprit behind all this is Xiao Xuetang!

Under the empress dowager's eager gaze, Xiao Xuetang remained calm and said to Emperor Yonghui, "Your Majesty has been exhausted after tossing and turning all night. Let Lady Ruo help you go down and rest."

Xiao Xuetang had just finished speaking when he was stopped by Lin Shaoshu!

Lin Shaoshu said, "Father, the situation outside is unclear. Who knows if there are any remnants of the Wang family? In my opinion, it is safer for everyone to stay in Caiwei Palace."

Lin Shaoshu looked righteous on the surface, but he knew clearly in his heart that he was protecting her in name but imprisoning her in reality!

After all, Xiao Xuetang secretly invited Emperor Yonghui to rescue Queen Wang last night. Who knows if Xiao Xuetang will have any tricks up his sleeve!

They actually underestimated Xiao Xuetang...

Thinking of this, Lin Shaoshu looked at Xiao Xuetang with a cold gaze.

Had it not been for Mu Xingyun seeing Xiao Xuetang appear in the Empress Dowager's bedroom and the atmosphere being uneasy, and not immediately withdrawing from Caiwei Palace and rearranging the arrangements to turn the tide, the mere fact that Emperor Yonghui saw them gathered in Caiwei Palace was enough to doom them from everlasting destruction!

It will only be two or three hours before Lin Shaojin gets his military token back, so they absolutely cannot allow any mishap to happen...

Emperor Yonghui was probably frightened by the series of events that happened that night. He did not refuse the offer, but nodded slightly and said, "Just like Prince Heng said, don't bother. If you are tired, let's find a place to rest."

Qin Yue at the side said hurriedly: "I will go clean the side hall..."

At this point, Qin Yue wanted to slip away, but Emperor Yonghui called her back, "Stop!"

Emperor Yonghui looked at Qin Yue, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he said, "Who gave you the courage to attack the Regent Princess?"

Qin Yue didn't expect that Emperor Yonghui would come to settle the score with her. Her knees weakened immediately and she looked at the Empress Dowager for help, saying, "My Lady, please save me."

"emperor……"

The Queen Mother called Emperor Yonghui anxiously, wanting to plead for Qin Yue, but was flatly rejected by Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, if you keep a treacherous servant like this by your side, you will only end up raising a tiger to harm you. If what happened last night happens again one day, and we are at odds, I will not be able to atone for my sins even if I cut him into pieces. It is better to drag him down and beat him to death now."

Emperor Yonghui's tone was unprecedentedly cold, and the Empress Dowager's heart trembled, followed by disbelief...

Just as the Queen Mother was stunned, the Qinglian Guards stepped forward, dragged Qin Yue away and executed her in the yard!

In the inner hall, only Qin Yue's screams could be heard. The Queen Mother clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand and wanted to say something several times, but was persuaded by Lin Shaoshu. After all, Qin Yue had followed the Queen Mother for many years. After hearing the screams, the Queen Mother's face turned pale and she almost fainted.

On the contrary, Emperor Yonghui, who had always been soft-hearted and filial, remained indifferent as he listened to Qin Yue's gradually weakening screams, and his gloomy expression actually improved a little.

Jiang Yinghe, who was standing by, brought up some hot tea and looked at the scene in the inner hall. He didn't know whether to go forward or not...

Jiang Yinghe was an old man who had been with Emperor Yonghui for many years. Although he did not know what happened last night, he was able to keenly sense the subtle atmosphere between Emperor Yonghui and the Empress Dowager.

Like a pair of invisible sharp blades, it cut off the invisible silk thread that the Empress Dowager used to control Emperor Yonghui!

……

It was already early morning. The sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the inside and outside of Caiwei Palace. Under the golden light, the slightest changes on everyone's face could not be hidden.

The entire Caiwei Palace was under tight security. The queen was taken away by the Qinglian Guards. General Mu Xingyun and the commander of the imperial guards Lu Zheng stood on the left and right in front of the inner hall.

Sitting in the inner hall were Emperor Yonghui, the Empress Dowager, and Lin Shaoshu. The three of them looked very solemn, waiting for something...

Seeing Jiang Yinghe's predicament, Xiao Xuetang took the initiative to say, "Eunuch Jiang, let me do it."

She took the tea tray and placed a teacup in front of Emperor Yonghui, the Empress Dowager and Lin Shaoshu. Except for Emperor Yonghui, the other two just looked at the scalding hot tea and did not touch it.

As if he was afraid that Xiao Xuetang would poison him.

Emperor Yonghui dealt with Qin Yue and drank some refreshing tea. He was no longer depressed from last night. He felt refreshed and said to Lin Shaoshu, who was sitting there looking a little restless, "I don't know when the King of Yue will come back. It's boring to wait like this. Shaoshu, let's finish the game of chess we played the day before yesterday."

Lin Shaoshu was no longer in the mood to play chess. He looked a little hesitant and said, "Father, the situation in Kyoto is unclear now. That traitor actually dared to come to Jiufan Mountain. Maybe Kyoto has already fallen. And I don't know whether Brother Yue's mobilization of troops will go smoothly. I... I really don't have the mood."

This night was exceptionally long, and it was only two or three hours away from noon...

Originally, after the farce last night, the attack on Kyoto was a foregone conclusion.

At least four or five waves of assassins went to Lin Xun's place last night. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he was seriously injured. He could hardly protect himself and was unable to take care of other things.

But for some reason, as time got closer, Lin Shaoshu had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, as if he had overlooked something?

Before Lin Shaoshu could figure out what was going on, Emperor Yonghui said in a detached tone, "Blessings and disasters are interdependent, and disasters and blessings are interdependent. Blessings and disasters are determined by heaven, so why take it to heart?"

When Lin Shaoshu heard the tone of Emperor Yonghui, it seemed as if he had accepted all the changes.

Lin Shaoshu hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Father has said so, and I will obey your orders. Fortunately, I still remember the layout from last night, so I will set up the chessboard and play a game with you."

This was different from the Emperor Yonghui's instructions. While the two were talking, Jiang Yinghe had already rearranged the chessboard.

The father and son sat down in front of the chessboard again, with Emperor Yonghui holding the white pieces and Lin Shaoshu holding the black pieces. The father and son started playing chess at this tense moment.

In the current situation, it is obvious that the black pieces are far ahead, while the white pieces are obviously weak in the follow-up and are already in a losing position.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will be defeated within three moves!

Lin Shaoshu's frown relaxed, and a secret smile appeared at the corner of his lips...

Emperor Yonghui held the chess piece in his hand, looking hesitantly at Xiao Xuetang, "Xuetang, how do you think I should play this move?"
