The Empress Dowager took a deep breath: "Bai Liyuan committed a serious crime and was sent to leave the capital. The Baili family suffered heavy losses. Baili Yunsheng gave the Ai family a break and asked to resign and leave the capital to return to his hometown on the grounds that he committed a serious crime against his family members."
The Empress Dowager stared into Lin Zhi's eyes, fearing that she might miss the slightest emotion in his eyes.
"The Ai family thought that this matter was reasonable and reasonable, so they agreed to his resignation. This was just a trivial matter, so the Ai family never mentioned it to Sect Master Lin and the Queen Mother. The Ai family thought that such a trivial matter should be something that the Ai family should be able to make their own decisions."
Lin Zhi heard that the word "Sect Master Lin" she deliberately emphasized was filled with resentment and sarcasm, but he sipped his tea and ignored it.
After a long time, he put down the tea cup. There was a crisp sound in the cold and dark palace, which made the whole body tremble slightly.
Lin Zhiban raised his eyelashes: "I'm afraid he's not leaving Beijing to return to his hometown."
The Empress Dowager frowned and subconsciously retorted. Lin Zhi waved his hand, not allowing her to speak.
"A few months ago, the Marquis of Jing'an died suddenly. On the day of his funeral, Hua Ling took Zhang Shiqing and left the capital secretly. In order to save her daughter, Princess Ningcheng threw herself into a trap. She had close contact with the Baili family and did a lot of things in private."
Lin Zhi's eyes were sharp and cold, which pierced the Queen Mother's heart. However, she still maintained her noble demeanor and refused to show any signs of collapse.
"After that, the coachman of Duke Rongguo left Beijing on the pretext of attending a funeral. When he returned to Beijing three months ago, he brought back Zhang Shiqing, who had been missing for several months. Princess Ningcheng was afraid that her daughter would be murdered again, so she hid her in the palace of Duke Rongguo.
But she didn’t know that the daughter she had longed for had been turned into a Xiangxiu woman.”
A sarcastic smile appeared on Lin Zhi's lips: "Not long after the fake Marquis of Jing'an returned to the capital, Baili Yunsheng also left the capital. Don't tell me that there is no connection."
The Queen Mother did not change her expression: "It sounds like there is indeed some coincidence."
"Fairy Wuhuan's mask is worth ten thousand gold, and Xiangxiu has a maidservant. Can he be invited to take action?"
The Empress Dowager was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Zhihuan
"You don't have to blame Hua Ling. She is just a foreign girl who has had her claws pulled out. She can't make any splash in the capital city. Such a person can't catch the eye of Fairy Wu Huan."
"The empress lives deep in the harem but can still control the affairs of the previous dynasty. It shows that her hands and eyes are all-powerful. Then please tell me, whose face does Fairy Wu Huan look at?"
The expression of the Empress Dowager has gradually calmed down: "The Ai family has lived in the deep palace for a long time. We dare not speculate on the affairs of the world. I have never heard of Fairy Wuhuan. The Ai family has never heard of her. What is so great about her? Please ask Sect Master Lin for advice. The Ai family would like to
Heard the details."
Lin Zhi glanced at her indifferently: "I happened to hear an old anecdote recently. Fairy Wuhuan is good at illusions, but her martial arts skills are ordinary. A few years ago, Baili Yunsheng saved his life by chance. And after him
Therefore, being able to have that opportunity is all thanks to your Majesty’s instructions. I wonder when did your Majesty meet Fairy Wuhuan?”
The Empress Dowager frowned and immediately closed her eyes. She actually made up her mind not to speak again.
"Ugh, let me go, you beast!"
The man's scream of extreme pain suddenly came from the inner hall.
This sound was weak and feeble, like a long-ill man trying his best to cry out, but it could only create tiny ripples that were almost undetectable.
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows moved, her eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to rush towards the inner hall: "Stop!"
Clothes were flying around her, and a man who looked like a lotus in the snow suddenly stood in front of her. A moment ago, the man was clearly sitting three feet away.
The Empress Dowager frowned and clenched her fists, her eyes turned red for a moment: "Get out of the way!"
Lin Zhi was not moved in the slightest. His thin lips curled up slightly, but the cool smile clearly did not reach his eyes: "Where are you going, your Majesty?"
