Your Majesty, I know I was wrong

Chapter 23

Recently, the Kingdom of Zhen and the Kingdom of Liufeng in the Western Regions have become very friendly, and the two countries sent envoys to each other to carry out diplomatic ceremonies.But today, the envoy from Liufeng Kingdom finally arrived in Zhen State, and Yu Xiao went to meet the envoy early in the morning.

Because there was nothing wrong in the army, the usual training of soldiers was managed by General Lang, so naturally Lin Zijin didn't need to worry about it.In Qixiao Hall, he leisurely reads the scriptures and eats the fruits sent from the Western Regions.

But the silence didn't last long, Lin Zijin heard the commotion outside the door, he didn't know what happened, and when he was about to get up and go out to find out, the door was pushed open.

The woman who came in was dressed in bright yellow brocade, embroidered with red phoenix and Chaoyang with gold thread, wearing nine-tailed phoenix tinsel on her head, and a jade pendant carved from suet white jade around her waist. Excellent, extremely fair, as if blown to pieces, just like a young woman, no trace of age can be seen, and no one can fit into her cold phoenix eyes.

"Your Majesty sees the Empress Dowager!"

"Where's the emperor?"

The Empress Dowager ignored Lin Zijin, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Sui'an beside her.

"The envoy of Liufeng Kingdom arrived today, and the emperor went to meet the envoy."

"What do Pedestrians eat?"

"It's the emperor who said that the two countries have good relations and should be received in person."

"Hmph, it's just a small country in the Western Regions, but the emperor wants to go, so let's go."

"Suian, the Ai family would like to ask you, it is rumored that there is a beautiful woman hidden in the emperor's bedroom, so that the concubines in the harem don't care about it, but is this really the case?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Zijin who was kneeling on the ground from a height.

"Is that you?"

He suddenly turned the spearhead, and the coldness revealed in his words approached Lin Zijin. He knew that the empress dowager was not kind.

"No...the empress dowager was joking, but because I was injured a while ago and had no place to go, the emperor allowed me to live in the palace for the time being, besides, the minister is a man..."

"I'm afraid it's a man! Do you know that if you lie to Aijia, you will be punished?"

"I know."

"Then you're still lying to Aijia?! I've lived in this world much longer than you, so you can tell at a glance whether it's true or not. Xiao Er is simply ridiculous!"

The empress dowager suddenly became angry and slapped Lin Zijin, which scared the maids who followed her back a little.Lin Zijin, who was still afraid of things being exposed, gained courage. He and Yu Xiao couldn't hide for a lifetime. To let the world accept them, they must first be accepted by the person closest to them, and that is Yu Xiao. mother, the Empress Dowager.

"I dare to ask the empress dowager, who in this world stipulates that men can only choose women? Like has nothing to do with gender."

"Don't you want to replace the empress mother in the world?"

"I never thought about taking the place of the empress, I just want to accompany him to share state affairs and advise him, in exchange for half a lifetime of stability, that's enough."

"The emperor could be admired by thousands of people, but because of you, he will be reviled by thousands of people."

"I will let them know that this world will be more peaceful and healthy because of us! The people are sensible, I will not bring them disaster, why should they spurn me? In this world, no man falls in love with a man anymore ?"

"Absurd!! Men can inherit the family? Don't forget, this is the emperor's family, and the throne always needs someone to inherit it!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zijin, who was originally full of confidence, became speechless. He had thought that no matter how much he and Yu Xiao fell in love, even if he could do a lot for him, this was the only thing that Lin Zijin would never say. He couldn't do it, he didn't know how to refute the empress dowager, because he didn't know what Yu Xiao was thinking, if one day Yu Xiao personally told him that he wanted a child, what would he do when?

"Hmph, the Lin family has been loyal ministers through the ages. General Lin must have understood what the Ai family said just now. No matter how hard you try, you can't do it."

"The Ai family will not force you to leave Xiao'er, and I don't want to make him sad when he is most in love. Now, you have two choices."

The empress dowager signaled for the maid behind her to bring up the things that had been prepared in advance. On top was an exquisite jade bowl, filled with brown decoction, exuding a quiet fragrance.

"Stay by Xiao'er's side, and the Ai family will take down the entire Lin family, and let you live alone to see how they die."

"This has nothing to do with the Lin family!!!"

"If you want to keep the Lin family, it's not impossible. Drink this."

The empress dowager gestured with her eyes.Lin Zijin looked at the soup in front of him, the fragrance of the soup was breathtaking, although Lin Zijin didn't know what it was, but he knew it must not be a good thing.But what if you know?These seem to be two ways, but there is only one. Lin Zijin can't just watch the Lin family die because of his willfulness. Besides drinking this bowl of medicine, does he have any other choice?

The most poisonous woman's heart, the most ruthless emperor's family.

Lin Zijin sneered, and he drank the whole bowl of medicine without hesitation.

"The Ai family will let the Lin family go as promised, and no one is allowed to mention today's matter to the emperor, do you understand?"

"Yes! The slave (servant) obeys!"

The Empress Dowager glanced at Lin Zijin who had been kneeling the whole time, and leaned over to his ear.

"The effect of this medicine lasts for one year. Within a year, your internal organs will gradually rot, and you will emit a fragrant smell. Finally, the stronger the smell, the stronger it will attract wild beasts to eat away at your bones. It is said that Mrs. Yu (Lin Zijin's mother) ) is sick, Ai’s family should go to visit some other day.”

"Thank you Empress Dowager!"

Lin Zijin gritted her teeth and endured desperately. This woman in the deep palace is already sick. She can only win the favor of the emperor among the thousands of beauties in the harem. The medicine I took was nothing more than to torture myself. Living in the harem for too long, this human nature has long changed. The empress dowager hated Lin Zijin for stumbling Yu Xiao, so she would not spare him lightly. If Lin Zijin was executed directly, Yu Xiao would definitely He would fall out with the empress dowager. At that time, the empress dowager would not only not get her son's understanding, but would be hated for the rest of her life. It would be more convenient to let Lin Zijin die silently, so that Yu Xiao would not suspect herself. You can also torture Lin Zijin, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

There is really no definite number of things in the palace. I was still thinking about Zijin who was facing Chaoyueyue, thinking that next year the lantern must go with Yu Xiao again. Where will the bones be buried.

Yu Xiao, oh Yu Xiao, I really don't know whether it was luck or misfortune to meet you in this life.

"Come back soon, I miss you."

In the depths of winter, Lin Zijin stood in the courtyard, watching the clouds in the sky slowly drifting away. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't think about anything.

One year, shouldn't it be rejoicing?There is still a year to share the joys of life with him.Maybe enough, one year is enough.

"Why are you sitting here? Wearing such thin clothes, what if you catch a cold?"

When Yu Xiao came back, it was already midnight, and he saw Lin Zijin sitting on the stone bench in the yard in a daze, when he touched his body, he found it was cold, he didn't know how long he had been here, so he quickly put himself He took off his cloak and put it on Lin Zijin.

"Go inside, your body is cold."

"But isn't the moon shining tonight?"

Yu Xiao looked up at Yue.

"What's so good about the waning moon?"

"Haha, that's right, let's go in."

Lin Zijin thought that he had never enjoyed the moon with Yu Xiao before, so he wanted to invite him out, but the weather was not good, so he couldn't give himself a full moon.

That's all, let's have a long time...
