Chu Wanxiang coughed violently several times and leaned into his arms.

Chu Mohan hugged Chu Wanxiang and looked at Lin Shiyin coldly.

Lin Shiyin was trembling all over, her lips were trembling and she was speechless.

Chu Mohan said in a deep voice: "Lin Shuyuan, I don't care about you taking care of me for many years. If you dare to be disrespectful to the queen again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Lin Shiyin finally couldn't bear the fear anymore and fell to her knees and cried: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore... Please forgive me... I don't dare anymore... Please forgive me... …”

Chu Mohan looked at the guards behind him: "Why are you still standing there? Drag this crazy woman down!"

Lin Shiyin panicked and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Chu Mohan turned a deaf ear and waved his hand for the guards to pull her down. Chu Wanxiang looked up at him with admiration in her eyes.

Not long after they left, a figure in green clothes flashed into the imperial garden. It was Lin Mengdie, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She walked to the lake, pushed aside the green leaves, and stood in front of Chu Wanxiang and Chu Mohan.

When Chu Mohan saw her, he frowned slightly: "Why is it you again?"

Lin Mengdie said: "I have something to give you, I hope it will be useful to you."

"what?"

Lin Mengdie took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "This is a handwritten letter written by my father to you. You should be able to read it, so you can read it."

Chu Mohan opened it and took a look, and his face instantly became extremely ugly. He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it at Lin Mengdie's feet, roaring: "Who wrote this!"

Chu Wanxiang frowned and picked up the letter and glanced at it, and found that the content in the letter was exactly what Old Prime Minister Lin said. He actually told Chu Mohan that he and Lin Mengwu tricked Chu Mochen into drinking poisonous wine that day.

"It is impossible for father to harm the emperor's brother!"

Lin Mengdie sneered and said: "Your father is trying to protect the Lin family. Although your father is the Minister of Rites, he is only the emperor's minister, not the emperor's father-in-law. If the emperor's brother ascends the throne, he will definitely clean up the old party, and your father will definitely do the same. If you can’t escape, it’s better to join your fourth brother, maybe you can find a better future.”

"There's no way my father would do such a thing!"

"Then you can ask Brother Huang and see what he says." Lin Mengdie sneered.

"Okay," the emperor suddenly interrupted the argument between the two of them, saying, "Lin Aiqing is a subject I rely on. He is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He will never betray me. Please stop slandering him. I will not allow you. Anyone who hurts the queen will stop this matter. Anyone who dares to mention it again will be beaten to death!"

"Yes, I will obey my father's will." Chu Mohan lowered his head and replied.

Chu Wanxiang looked aggrieved and called out softly and plaintively: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor looked at her, then at Mrs. Lin, and warned in a stern tone: "Concubine, if you dare to touch the queen, I will never tolerate it!"

Mrs. Lin nodded hurriedly: "I don't dare, I understand."

Chu Wanxiang curled his lips secretly. Sure enough, Chu Mohan's weight in these people's hearts was not as important as hers.

The emperor waved his sleeves and left.

Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and shed tears of gratitude for the emperor's protection. With Lin Mengqin dead, she lost a powerful person to threaten her. She looked at Chu Mohan with eyes full of admiration and praised in a low voice: "The emperor is so domineering."

Chu Mohan looked at her: "You really enjoy it?"

Chu Wanxiang choked: "I'm just happy for the emperor."

Mrs. Lin interjected in a weird tone: "Your Majesty, you see the Queen is so sharp-tongued. I wonder how many male favorites she has confused and even got pregnant with."

Chu Wanxiang's face suddenly turned red: "The queen has misunderstood! The emperor just pities the fetus in my belly, so he is extra generous to me."

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly: "Queen, just pretend!"

"You!" Chu Wanxiang said angrily, "Mother, what do you want to do today?"

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother suddenly burst into tears and said sadly, "I am infertile, and I don't want to delay Your Majesty. I will be honest with Your Majesty today, and Your Majesty can accept a concubine. As for the palace maid given to me by the Queen Mother,

I can send them back."

"Why are you bothering the queen?" Mrs. Lin comforted her, "I have already given instructions to the palace servants so that they can take good care of you and your children, so there is no need for you to worry."

The queen said: "Mother, the emperor is the real dragon emperor, how can he marry a barren woman to be the queen? Mother, I am really unworthy of the ancestors of the royal family, and I have no shame in living in the world. I beg my mother to grant me permission and let me die.

Done."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Lin angrily shouted, "Your Majesty, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!"

Chu Mohan looked at Mrs. Lin and Lin Mengdie with a cold face and said: "Queen Mother and Sixth Sister, you don't need to act. We all know that you are pretending to deal with us hypocritically. Mrs. Lin wants to use this method.

Get rid of me so that you can pave the way for your direct grandson. You have such a beautiful idea."

Mrs. Lin was startled, and then she became furious: "That's ridiculous! How could I, a dignified woman in this palace, do such despicable things? You are such a mouthful!"

Chu Wanqing supported her and comforted her softly: "Don't be angry, mother and concubine. Father may just be guessing and there is no evidence."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Lin glared at her, "It's your turn to speak here!"

Chu Wanqing bit her lip and took a few steps back with red eyes.

Lin Mengdie coughed twice and said to Chu Wanxiang in a gentle voice: "Queen, listen to me, your father has indeed done something sorry for you. I know you hate me, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. But you have nothing to do with me."

Don't be angry with the emperor because of this, he really likes you. In our relationship of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, I have never treated you harshly."

Chu Wanxiang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "The Imperial Concubine is worrying too much. I don't resent the Imperial Concubine, but I am disappointed by the actions of the Imperial Concubine and the Lin family."

"Empress, we are all doing this for your own good." Lin Mengdie sighed, "Like you, I can't bear to see you become a widow, so I want to help you find a reliable man. You were personally chosen by the Emperor.

Queen, if you lose your reputation because of this, what will the Emperor think of you, Queen? Besides, you don’t want to think about it, your brother is dead. If you die too, who will inherit the throne?"

"Queen, you have to think about the Emperor." Lin Mengdie continued to fan the flames.

Chu Wanxiang said: "I will naturally consider the emperor, but the emperor does not have to give up the establishment of the emperor's eldest son because of this."

"Queen, you don't have to worry, this child will be born safely." The emperor held Chu Wanxiang's hand and said firmly.

"Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang looked up at him in surprise, a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, what are you..."

"I said, I will make my child a king and canonize you as the empress dowager." Chu Mohan said with a smile.

"But……"
