Chapter 216: Transformed into a Young Widowed Queen Mother (16)

The two maids were so frightened that they trembled and quickly kowtowed and said, "We obey your command."

Yu Li looked at them solemnly for a long time, then said "hmm" softly and left with the Jinyiwei.

After Yu Li completely left Changyi Palace, the two maids finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The Ninth Prince had different feelings towards the Queen. There would be many more days like this in the future!

Muye and Chaoxi slept comfortably all night. After washing up, they went to take over the night watch from Nanny Zhou and Nanny Ren in high spirits.

The two were shocked to see the two maids in low spirits. Muye asked, "Thank you for your hard work, maids. You were busy for a long time yesterday. Chaoxi and I will keep watch for the next two days. Have a good rest, maids!"

Nanny Zhou thought about it, but still didn't tell anyone about Yu Li's visit last night. She said, "The Queen must have been tired yesterday and is still sleeping. If she doesn't wake up, don't go in and disturb her, okay?"

Chaoxi smiled and said, "I understand, Madam. Muye and I have served the Madam for ten years and we know her habits. Don't worry!"

Nanny Zhou and Nanny Ren looked worried, but they didn't know where to start, so they could only smile and say, "Guard the palace gate well. No one can enter without the queen's order! This is the queen's order!"

Muye and Chaoxi immediately became serious and said, "We understand."

Only then did Nanny Zhou and Nanny Ren feel relieved and went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.

……

After a crazy night, Yu Li felt relaxed all over and in good spirits. He went to court with steady and light steps.

The old emperor was too ill to attend court, so his figure was not on the dragon throne in the council hall. Yu Li stood to one side of the dragon throne, with a smile on his face and gentle eyes, looking down at the ministers standing in rows below.

Yu Li was the first to see Prime Minister Lin standing in the front, holding a tablet and standing expressionlessly.

As if noticing Yu Li's gaze, Prime Minister Lin raised his head and looked over.

Yu Li responded with a smile and a nod, which inexplicably showed a hint of respect.

Prime Minister Lin frowned and shifted his gaze, wondering in his heart: What's wrong with this castrated dog today?

Yu Li was standing on the high platform with a gloomy and terrifying look on his face, his hand on the big knife on his waist, as if he would draw the knife and chop people if he was unhappy.

Everyone is very afraid.

Are they going to attack him?

Prime Minister Lin immediately became alert and looked at Yu Li with a bit more hostility.

Yu Li looked at Prime Minister Lin's face, which was three times similar to Lin Shuwan's. He could not be cold and hard towards him, but he saw that Prime Minister Lin's face had a more unfriendly and vigilant look.

Yu Li felt amused. They were truly father and daughter. Their expressions were so similar!

Now his relationship with Prime Minister Lin has not reached the stage of being irreconcilable, but if Prime Minister Lin knew that he had defiled his precious daughter, the Queen of Daye, he would probably kill him even at the cost of both sides!

He also didn't want things to get too awkward between them, and Lin Shuwan probably didn't want to see anything happen to them either.

After all...if Lin Shuwan gets pregnant with his child in the future, Prime Minister Lin will be the child's grandfather. We are all family!

Yu Li's face returned to its cold and gloomy expression, which made the trembling ministers below breathe a sigh of relief. They thought that the Nine Thousand Year Old Man was going to sacrifice another minister today.

Yang Qi stood at the first seat on the other side, watching the eye contact between Prime Minister Lin and Yu Li, with a gleam in his eyes.

Now the eldest daughter of the Lin family has entered the palace and become the queen. When her father passes away and he ascends the throne to become emperor, the eldest daughter will be the empress dowager. His position and that of the Lin family should be the same!

As long as Prime Minister Lin stands on his side for Lin Shuwan, it will be much easier to deal with Yu Li!

This is a safe move made by my father, and it depends on him next.

Thinking of this, Yang Qi's brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to use the two chess pieces, Prime Minister Lin and Lin Shuwan.

The eunuch next to him chanted loudly: "If you have something to say, please get up and play. If you don't, please leave!"

Yang Qi stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this prince has something to say."

Yu Li looked at Yang Qi with a half-smile and asked, "Oh? What does His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince want to report?"

Yang Qi put one hand behind his back, raised his chin, and said righteously:

"The Autumn Examination is an important exam for selecting talents in our country, which is related to the fate of the country. However, in recent years, cheating in the imperial examination has occurred frequently, seriously affecting the fairness of the examination.

This prince suggests that the intensity of the invigilation be strengthened and cheating be severely punished to ensure the fairness of this autumn exam."

Yu Li nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, "Your Highness the Eighth Prince is right. Cheating in the imperial examination is indeed a serious crime.

The Eighth Prince has now entered the government, and this autumn examination will be conducted by His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Lin. If anyone dares to violate this taboo, they will be severely punished!"

Yang Qi was delighted. This was a great opportunity for him to get close to the students and secretly cultivate his own power. At the same time, he could also get close to Prime Minister Lin. As long as he managed well, he would surely reap a lot in this autumn examination!

Prime Minister Lin frowned. Every year in the Autumn Examination, the Ministry of Rites would arrange officials to set questions and supervise. He basically did not participate in the affairs of the Autumn Examination to avoid being criticized. What's more, he had to take care of the Eighth Prince?

Yu Li, this castrated dog, only knows how to cause trouble for him!

He raised his hands in greeting, lowered his eyebrows and said in a submissive manner: "This prince understands. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Nine Thousand Years Old."

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of gloom and coldness. This damn eunuch, sooner or later, he will definitely kill all the eunuchs in the palace!

After the court was adjourned, Yang Qi walked up to Prime Minister Lin and walked out together.

Yang Qi bowed slightly, with a very humble and polite attitude, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Lin, I will have to rely on you a lot in this autumn examination."

Prime Minister Lin had a cold expression and a calm tone, "I will naturally do my best. But why is the Eighth Prince suddenly so concerned about the Autumn Examination this time?"

A shrewd look flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. "As a member of the imperial court, I naturally care about national affairs. Moreover, this autumn examination is also an opportunity for me to prove my ability. I will be able to help my father solve problems in the future!"

Prime Minister Lin was very smart, so he naturally understood Yang Qi's thoughts. He sneered in his heart, but said:

"I admire the Eighth Prince's ambition. However, the imperial examination is of great importance and must not be taken lightly."

"Minister Lin is teaching me that this prince must act with caution."

Yang Qi responded respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use this autumn examination to achieve his own goals.

The two talked all the way and then parted ways.

The eunuchs from the Political Affairs Office collected a wave of memorials, and Yu Li led the people and the memorials to the Yuhe Hall.

Yu Li glanced at the sun outside. It was still early, and he thought that Lin Shuwan should still be sleeping.

Lin Shuwan slept until noon, and only opened his heavy eyelids when he could no longer bear the hunger and thirst.

The room was still a little dim, and there was still a faint scent of soothing fragrance in the air, which made her think of the crazy scene with Yu Li last night. She suddenly felt annoyed and embarrassed, and her face turned red.

Lin Shuwan rubbed his limp waist and cursed: "This dog eunuch! He really doesn't know how to be gentle with women. He is too rude and forceful. I feel like my waist is about to break!"
