001 Bloodstained
"Lin Yanqing, you're useless to me."
Today is her wedding night, and it is also the day when the news of the frontier war comes.
Her father and brother were all killed in battle.
The 100,000 brave and combative Lin family army was completely annihilated.
The blood-stained battle report rushed to her hand from eight hundred miles from the frontier, and the last soldier of the Lin family's army fell in front of her.
And her husband, the current saint, told her that it was all his handiwork.
"Your father is a master of great merit, and the world calls him the protector of my Great Qi, so what am I?!"
Qi Li looked at Lin Yanqing sitting on the bed, even if the makeup was bright, it was still difficult to hide the sickness on her face.
"This world is my world! Your father...... No, it's the Lin family, and there is no need to exist for a long time. β
His words were like a sharp arrow piercing Lin Yanqing's heart, and the pain spread to all internal organs.
She pursed her lips, blood gushing in her throat, and she didn't say a word.
"Won't you say something? Don't you want to scold me?! β
What Qi Li hates most is that she looks like she won't change when the sky falls.
Now that the sky is falling, she is still like this, as if nothing can shake her.
In the new house covered with red silk and red candles, there was a deathly silence. The eyes were full of red, as if it was her Lin's blood.
Lin Yanqing closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
Her silence made Qi Li not want to talk to her anymore.
"Good, good. Since you don't even want to talk to me, don't say it again! Without the Lin family, you will not be able to sit in the back seat, and Miaoyin will be by my side in the future and share the prosperity with me. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the sound of brisk footsteps approached, and she saw a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with phoenixes stop next to Qi Li.
"Your Majesty."
This voice is Lou Miaoyin, the concubine of the Lou family who is about to replace her as the queen.
"Why did you come here on this snowy day?" She heard Qi Li's voice become gentle, "I'll go back immediately, you see you don't even wear a cloak, if you are infected with the wind and cold, it is still me who is distressed." β
"Your Majesty is not here, and the concubines can't sleep."
Yes, from today onwards, Lou Miaoyin will always be in the palace.
Because, today is also her wedding day.
"Squeamish~ Go, I will accompany you back to the palace."
"Your Majesty,"
Lin Yanqing heard Lou Miaoyin call Qi Li,
"The concubine has something to say to Sister Lin, can Your Majesty wait for the concubine?"
Qi Li frowned, "What do you have to say to her?" β
"Your Majesty......"
Lou Miaoyin softened his tone and shook his arm.
"That's it, I'll be waiting for you outside."
The footsteps went away, the door opened and closed, and only two women were left in the festive wedding room.
"Lin Yanqing, I didn't expect it, you will have such a day! In the past, you pressed me everywhere, you were the first Shuli in the capital, and you were the first talented girl! What about me? What am I not like you?! Even the position of the queen will let you sit first! β
Lou Miaoyin's voice changed from the softness just now, and became arrogant and sharp.
"But I've already fought for myself, before His Majesty has been struggling with how to get rid of your Lin family, I told him why get rid of it, as long as the Lin family doesn't exist, naturally there is no need to worry.
Without the Lin family, without you. The world will no longer remember, they will only know that my Lou Miaoyin is the queen of this great Qi! β
Lin Yanqing, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes!
His eyes were like torches, and his eyes were red.
"It's you?!"
Her Lin General's Mansion is in such a situation, not only Qi Li, but also Lou Miaoyin...... No, it should be the Lou family behind the scenes.
"It's me, how are you doing?"
Lou Miaoyin held her head high and looked condescendingly at Lin Yanqing who was sitting on the bed.
She scoffed and paced a few steps closer.
"So far, why not tell you. Your Majesty has never loved you, and has only used you from beginning to end. Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, you and the Lin family are useless. β
Lin Yanqing gritted her teeth tightly, and the smell of blood in her mouth made her almost nauseous.
Sure enoughβit was he who took the lead and caught her and Lin in the trap he had set up.
She doesn't care if he loves her, what she cares about is the 100,000 Lin family soldiers who died on the frontier! What she cares about is that she is full of loyalty!
"Lin Yanqing, you have always been able to endure it."
Lou Miaoyin only felt bored when she looked at her reaction,
"Anyway, after tonight, you will no longer be my opponent, so you should be ready to endure it in the cold palace for the rest of your life."
She turned and floated away, and when she left, the Mingguang Hall was quiet again.
Poof-
Lin Yanqing could no longer bear the churning in his chest, and blood-colored mist flowers bloomed in the air.
"Miss! What's wrong with you, Miss?! β
The little maid who had been listening to the movement inside outside the hall did not dare to rush in until Qi Li and Lou Miaoyin walked away side by side.
She had already burst into tears, took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the blood from her mouth for Lin Yanqing, but her wrist was held in the next second.
"Ping'er, let's go home."
Lin Yanqing stood up on his knees, raised his hand to wipe his face, and the blood stains merged with the red wedding dress.
She still has a mother, she can't fall.
"Yes, let's go home, Madame is still home!"
The two supported each other and walked out, but they couldn't even get close to the palace gate, so they were stopped outside the Mingguang Palace.
The Janissaries, clad in helmets and swords, surrounded the two of them, the tips of their swords glowing coldly in the moonlight.
"The daughter of the traitor Lin Hongyue, who intends to assassinate His Majesty, the crime is unforgivable, take it for me!"
Without the slightest respite, an unwarranted hat was buckled on Lin Yanqing's head, as well as the entire Lin family's head.
"Miss, let's go! Ping'er is in the way for you! Come on! β
She looked at Ping'er, who was in front of her, too weak to resist the sword of the Praetorian Guard, and weakly let go of her tightly clenched hand.
"Master Meng, Ping'er returned her deed of sale to her parents before I entered the palace, and she is no longer from the Lin Mansion.
Can you let her go? β
Meng Jin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, pondered for a moment, and arched his hand towards Lin Yanqing, "Since you are not a descendant of the Lin Mansion, you can leave." β
As soon as he raised his hand, the Praetorian Guards in a circle opened an opening.
"Miss, Ping'er won't go! Where Miss is, Ping'er is! β
Lin Yanqing brushed away her hand holding her sleeve, "You and I have finished the relationship between master and servant, go home, you still have parents and brothers at home." β
"Miss! Miss, I'm not leaving! β
Ping'er cried and was dragged out of the encirclement and ruthlessly thrown out of the palace.
The palace gate slammed shut, and the towering walls resembled birdcages, allowing the people inside to come in and never escape.
At some point, snow drifted in the sky, stained with a layer of silver, and all the dirt and darkness in the world were easily covered.
"Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the ...... of Taiping"
Lin Yanqing lay on the cold floor tiles and muttered.
The red wedding dress was tattered, and the gurgling blood stained red and white.
She looked at the gray sky, the moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and there was not a single trace of it.
Today, it's supposed to be a full moon.
β¦β¦
"Bury her."
The snow easily covered the footprints.
"Yes, sir."
