Prince Yu narrowed his eyes, clenched his fingers in his sleeves, and looked deeply at the woman in the high position.

What is this bitch doing?

"I think this is a very good suggestion, and it is also fair and just. Prince Yu is so careful, and the person who is tested must be the most capable one."

The Minister of the Chancellery, whose arrogance had finally disappeared, stood up and seconded the motion with a smile.

Prince Yu glanced at him sideways, but the Minister of the Central Secretariat was still smiling, showing no fear at all.

What a joke! Generations of the Yang family have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and this is also the iron rule of their family. What they hate most are those toads who have ulterior motives and want to replace the emperor!

"I also second my opinion."

"I also second my opinion."

For a moment, almost every minister seconded the motion.

The ministers who heard Lin You's sly thoughts knew that Lin You suddenly brought this up and that there must be some earth-shattering news to be revealed, so they naturally agreed.

As for the people on Prince Yu's side, they thought that Lin You's suggestion was obviously giving Shen Yu an opportunity to openly replace Minister Li with Wu Shen.

Then, everyone raised their hands and feet and agreed.

Prince Yu felt like he was being forced into a situation and could only grit his teeth and agree.

He thought about it, but couldn't think of what kind of waves Lin You could make. Maybe...

This is just Lin You's way of playing hard to get!

In the end, she couldn't leave him, so she started to please him again.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu's originally sullen face now showed a smug smile.

The Duke, who had been silent the whole time, was so embarrassed when he saw that he failed to make Lin You angry.

He originally wanted to use this incident to go against Lin You and make her go back crying and complain to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

So that they would know that if they treated his Chan'er badly again, he could also choose to stand on Prince Yu's side. But now looking at Concubine You's appearance, it seemed that he had done a good thing to add fuel to the fire.

No, this absolutely cannot be allowed.

He was going to meet the Queen Mother and let them know where they stood.

After court was dismissed, Lin You was called by the Queen Mother to have dinner with her. At the gate of Shouren Palace, he ran into the Duke.

"Humph!"

The Duke glanced at her, snorted coldly, then flicked his sleeves and went in first.

Lin You laughed, rolled his eyes, and then went in.

[This old man is here to cause trouble, you can tell at a glance! ]

The Queen Mother, who was arranging flowers and waiting for Lin You, heard the voice and turned to look outside the door, only to see the Duke and Lin You walking towards her, one in front and one behind.

The former had a gloomy face and walked with anger, while the latter walked neither fast nor slow.

It's obvious that they are not getting along.

The Queen Mother continued to arrange flowers calmly.

"Your Majesty, I greet the Queen Mother."

Duke Xu strode up to the Queen Mother, raised his hand and bowed, but this bow was clearly made with anger. When he bowed, his sleeves raised a gust of wind, and his tone was also very unpleasant.

The Queen Mother was arranging the flowers leisurely, as if she didn't hear anything.

Duke Xu's face darkened even more. He accepted the gift and stared at the Queen Mother. "Sister, how long are you going to keep Chan'er locked up? She hasn't committed any serious crime!"

"Well, so you know that I am your eldest sister."

The Queen Mother snorted, put the last flower into the vase, washed her hands, wiped them, then looked up at Duke Xu who was suppressing his anger in front of her.

Duke Xu still had a sullen face. "Does the elder sister know that you are Chan'er's aunt? The emperor's future queen?"

The first sentence was addressed to the Queen Mother, but when he said the second sentence, his eyes glanced at Lin You behind him.

Lin You's ears twitched and he stepped into the room.

"My aunt is telling the truth, but Queen, Duke Xu, you need to be careful with your words."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and her tone became gloomy.

Duke Xu stared at her, "Eldest sister, what do you mean? Didn't you promise Chan'er before that you would let her be the future queen?"

Lin You stood silently by the side, trying to ignore the noise and listening to the siblings arguing.

This is a melon that can be eaten right away, so we should cherish it.

"When did you ever hear me say that I would make Chan'er the queen?"

"Didn't you say..."

"Yes, I said at the time that if there was no suitable candidate and if the emperor was unwilling to appoint a queen, I would support Chan'er to take that position, but that's all later."

"Then the premise has never been met, so shouldn't you fulfill this promise?"

[Tsk, look at how they are arguing so fiercely. Shouldn't the matter of the Queen be decided by the Emperor? What's the point of these two people arguing here?]

Lin You secretly took a small fruit from the table and put it into his mouth in seconds.

"No, now, I already have a suitable candidate for the queen."

The Queen Mother said this and glanced at Lin You, only to see that she was secretly eating the fruit!

Duke Xu followed the Queen Mother's gaze and looked back. When he saw the vixen-like Lin You, his sinister eyes became even darker.

Queen Mother, this is...

It means to make Concubine You the queen!

No, no, the position of queen must belong to Chan'er.

Lin You was suddenly stared at by two people. He was confused and blinked at them. [No, you are looking at me suddenly, what do you mean?]

[And this Duke, he looks like he wants to tear me apart. ]

"Queen Dowager, no one knows the emperor's current situation better than you. If it weren't for the Duke's Mansion's continued support for the emperor, do you think the emperor would still be able to stay in that position?"

Duke Xu stared at the Queen Mother coldly, his cloudy eyes filled with greed and ruthlessness.

"Ha ha……"

The Queen Mother suddenly smiled.

Lin You was shocked.

"Duke Xu, what you mean is that without you, the emperor and I can't sit in this position, right?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, her eyes were sharp, and she knocked the ground heavily with the cane in her hand. The sound was so loud that it seemed as if the floor could crack, and her momentum was even greater.

Duke Xu choked and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Finally, he said in a trembling voice: "Anyway, if you don't let Chan'er out, I will, I will..."

"So what? Could it be that Duke Xu wants to rebel?"

The Queen Mother scolded fiercely, her voice almost breaking, and her old body trembled.

"I..." Duke Xu's face showed a trace of fear, and he said awkwardly: "You said this yourself, Queen Mother. I never said a word."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, but when he passed by Lin You, he did not forget to glare at Lin You fiercely.

Watching him leave angrily, the Queen Mother was about to fall backwards, but Nanny Su quickly supported him, "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. It's not worth it for such a person."

"That's right, it's not worth getting angry over this kind of stuff. It's not worth it." Lin You also stepped forward to pat the empress dowager's back.

The Queen Mother's chest was still heaving violently. "This bastard actually dared to use Chan'er's matter to threaten me."

"He actually wants to stand on Prince Yu's side. He is such a jerk."

"If he dares, I will peel off his skin and pull out his tendons!"

[Don't tell me, your brother the Duke is just a fence-sitter! ]
