Lu An shuddered hard and grabbed the Empress Dowager's wrist: "Mother, please."
"Achen." The Empress Dowager felt Lin Zhi's absolute determination and became anxious: "Listen to me, you..."
"Shut up!" Lin Zhi's body suddenly appeared in front of the Empress Dowager, his eyes stained with bloodthirsty red, which made people frightened: "You don't deserve to be called this name! You make me sick!"
The Empress Dowager finally did not dare to speak again and was rudely dragged away by Lu An.
Lin Zhiban lowered his eyelashes, walked slowly behind the desk, and picked up the tea cup that had been sitting there for a long time.
Opening the lid of the cup, warm smoke from the dark brown tea floated up like pillars and dissipated in the air.
Lin Zhi's cold brows gradually became filled with warmth: "Old Chu, you have to wait for me. After I get rid of these annoying rats and ants, I will go find you. When you come back, don't let them bother you again.
.”
Plop!
Suddenly there was a sound of kneeling behind me, and the sound of human knees colliding with the bluestone floor tiles was so clear and frightening.
"Thank you, brother!"
The woman's voice came close to the ground, and Lin Zhi sighed heavily.
"The Queen Mother is acting like this, is she going to trap me into eternal disaster?"
Lin Zhi stood high and stared at Baili Mingshuang, who was kneeling on the bluestone bricks with his forehead pressed to the ground.
He turned sideways to avoid Baili Mingshuang's gift.
"I promised the late emperor that I will spare no effort to complete it," he said.
Baili Mingshuang raised her eyes, her eyes complex and deep: "Alang has never treated my brother as a subordinate, why should my brother treat me like this?"
"You must remember your superiors and inferiors." Lin Zhi said with a calm expression, "I always remember my duty. Madam, please stand up."
Seeing his indifference, Baili Mingshuang stood up and sat down beside him.
"I would also like to thank you for informing me about Baili Yunsheng's departure from the capital. I really want to know." Lin Chu stared at Baili Mingshuang's eyes: "My sibling, why did you do this?"
Baili Yunsheng's departure from Beijing was a secret, and the Baili family did many things to cover it up.
In addition, he was in Jingshui Village at that time. If Baili Mingshuang hadn't sent someone to deliver the letter, he would not have understood the Baili family's conspiracy so quickly.
Following this line, he found out that... unsightly secret.
"Sect Leader Lin abides by his duties, so why not the Ai family?"
Baili Mingshuang's eyes were bright: "The Ai family is the late emperor's queen, the emperor's biological mother, and the Queen Mother of Western Chu! Regardless of emotion and reason, the Ai family will swear to protect Western Chu to the death!"
Lin Zhi took a deep look at Baili Mingshuang and said, "It's great that the late Emperor can marry you as his queen."
The corners of Baili Mingshuang's lips curled up, and when she thought of Duanmulang, her eyes felt tender for a moment, and then became firm and decisive.
"Alang has been controlled by others throughout his life and cannot be free. The Ai family cannot let the Ai family's son become another person's puppet. As a mother, you must be strong. For the sake of your well-being, the Ai family will not hesitate to break your body!"
Lin Zhi half lowered his eyelashes: "The Empress Dowager will not return to the palace in the short term. If the Empress Dowager wants to completely control the harem, she must seize this opportunity."
"Aijia understands."
Baili Mingshuang stood up: "The Ai family will take the emperor back to the palace immediately. Neither the Ai family nor the emperor have left the palace today, let alone the Empress Dowager."
"Yes." Lin Zhiqian took a sip of tea and said, "I would like to send you my concubine."
Zhuihun's body came closer quietly. After holding on for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back and said: "Since we already have clues, why not just go find them?"
Lin Zhi's lips curled up slightly, and the smile reached his eyes: "You don't understand, Old Chu is different from others!"
