Chapter 116: Paying a Terrible Price

Chu Duhan glanced at the contents of Emperor Chu's bowl, and then looked up at Jiang Qiyun. Jiang Qiyun seemed to notice his gaze, raised her eyes to look over, and happened to meet his unfathomable eyes.

The two met their eyes, and Chu Duhan quickly looked away.

Jiang Qiyun retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Your Majesty, the Lin family is a loyal martyr of Lin Shangshu, and it should not be affected. It's better to take the opportunity to demote the Lin family to a common person."

Emperor Chu said, "The Lin family is guilty or not, not my words. I handed over this case to the Criminal Department, and you must investigate it seriously and thoroughly. Lin Shangshu and the three girls of the Lin family were temporarily imprisoned in Zongrenfu Prison to be convicted, and all the property of the Lin family was owned by the imperial court, and it was divided by the household department and the official department. As for the disposition of the Lin clan, we will talk about it when the Lin family is done."

Chu Mohan and Jiang Qiyun knelt down and kowtowed together, and said respectfully, "Yes, the concubine obeys the order."

"Flatten." Emperor Chu waved his hand.

After the Emperor of Chu had eaten, he stayed in the Qianqing Palace for a short time and then left in a hurry. Jiang Qiyun sent Emperor Chu out, and when he came back, he found that all the Lin family had been beheaded, leaving only Lin Shangshu and the Lin family to escape.

Lin Shangshu was beheaded, and a generation of heroes came to an end. And all the Lin family members were exiled, and Lin Shangshu's sons and nephews were dismissed and exterminated.

The Lin family was full of doors and was wiped out overnight, and this sensational event quickly spread all over the world.

After the dust settled on the Lin family's affairs, Jiang Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only did she not lose power, but she was a blessing in disguise. The chaos between her and Lin Shangshu was exposed, and Chu Duhan was furious and ordered someone to investigate thoroughly. The crimes of the Lin family were soon revealed, and the Lin family was convicted, and they were beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans were punished!

"Queen Mother, the slave maid just heard the news that the emperor wants to canonize the Queen Mother as the imperial concubine." Bilu couldn't help but gossip, "It is said that the Lin family and others are all handled by the queen's mother. The emperor authorized the queen to take a break every five years and return to Beijing to visit Mrs. Lin. The queen also asked the old lady Lin to take care of the imperial doctor."

Chu Wanxiang's eyebrows were raised lightly, and a hint of mockery crossed her eyes. Jiang Qiyun did this to tell her that she controlled the dynasty, even the imperial grandmother.

"Since she wants to show off, Hongu satisfies her vanity. This palace wants to see how much capital she still has to be arrogant." The corners of Chu Wanxiang's lips hooked up the arc of sarcasm.

"Does the emperor really want to make a queen?" Jasper was a little worried, "What if it ......"

Chu Wanxiang smiled indifferently, and a sharp edge flashed in her eyes: "Regardless of whether it is canonized or not, this palace will be firmly in the back position."

The turquoise and purple iris looked at each other.

The marriage of the emperor and the empress is a political alliance and needs each other. Once the queen loses her Sacred Heart, she becomes an outcast. Isn't the queen scared at all?

"Niangniang, you haven't thought about it, is it because the emperor is afraid of the Lin family, so he has not been crowned queen for a long time?" Purple Kite reminded.

Jiang Qiyun sneered: "The emperor is not a faint king, it is impossible for him to abolish the queen because of the Lin family, let alone abolish his own flesh and blood because of this."

Jiang Qiyun said: "The emperor and I are in love, and the emperor will not abolish me, at most, he will snub me or let me sleep. Only fools like you are worried that the emperor will favor other women, you have forgotten, except for the queen mother, this harem belongs to me as the most beautiful."

Purple Kite and Emerald sneered, "Niang Niang is really good at laughing."

Jiang Qiyun said with a straight face: "The emperor is reluctant to abolish the queen because he still loves the queen. The emperor refused to depose the queen because he respected the queen and did not want to destroy his wife."

"The love between the emperor and the queen is really enviable!" Purple Kite Road.

Jiang Qiyun sighed: "In this way, haven't I become a jealous woman? It's a pity, the emperor is already the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, and there can be no hope in our lives."

Purple Kite hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, although the emperor has a queen mother, but the emperor has a deep affection for Niangniang."

Jiang Qiyun lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks flushed: "I understand, don't worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Qiyun turned around and walked towards the house, walked to the threshold and suddenly turned around and said, "You say, will the emperor and queen have children?

What about it?"

Turquoise shook her head, "I'm afraid it's hard to say."

Chu Wanhan's body is sick, and Chu Wanxiang is also sick, so it is difficult to give birth. After Chu Duhan ascended the throne, the draft concubine has been for several years, but there has been no movement.

Chu Duhan was not in a hurry to have a child, because his body needed to be warmed and nourished, and it was not suitable for having children early. He just needs a healthy and strong heir.

This time Jiang Qiyun was pregnant, Chu Duhan was very happy, and stayed in Fengyi Palace that night.

Jiang Qiyun lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, the picture of Lin Shangshu's beheading echoed over and over again in his mind, and he felt cold.

She didn't like bloody and cruel killings, but this time she chose to advance and retreat with the Lin family without hesitation and stand on Lin Shangshu's side. She didn't regret her decision, she just felt sorry for her parents, as well as the rest of the Lin family.

Chu Duhan hugged her and stroked her cold back. Jiang Qiyun closed her eyes, tried to adjust her breathing, and gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, she was still in a state of mind and her eyes were bloodshot.

Chu Duhan frowned and said, "Why can't you sleep enough today? Were you tired last night?"

Jiang Qiyun shook her head and said, "I didn't sleep much last night. The emperor wants to canonize me as a queen, but I don't want to be a queen."

"Why?" Chu Duhan was surprised. Jiang Qiyun has a proud personality and is not interested in power and glory, how can she be willing to give up what is at her fingertips?

Jiang Qiyun gritted her teeth and said, "I want the emperor to know that I, Jiang Qiyun, will never lose to other women. If the Lin family's revenge is not avenged, I will not give up."

Chu Duhan put his arms around her and said softly, "I understand, I will leave this matter to me. You don't have to bother, I will let you get your wish and make the Lin family pay a terrible price."

Jiang Qiyun lay on his chest, and his heart swelled with fierce emotions like huge waves. She truly loves this emperor. For him, he willingly sacrificed his body. But this man failed her and married her sister. The only thing to be proud of in this world is that she has a good sister, Chu Mohan's eldest daughter.

Jiang Qiyun raised her eyes and stared at Chu Duhan, her eyes flashing with a resolute light: "Your Majesty, concubines are not people who covet wealth and power. I want to use my ability to serve the country, not rely on the emperor's protection."

"Well, you're right, I did ignore your wishes, and it's not good for me." Chu Duhan lowered his head and kissed her lips, and said softly, "I promise you that I will try to maintain respect for you whenever and wherever I want to go in the future. If you are tired, you don't have to hold on, just rest in Fengyi Palace. I'm with you, too."
